Planning Finances

It is important that you discuss costs with your family as soon as you begin thinking about applying for an exchange. When researching the various program options, review the Estimated Costs tab in each brochure as different locations may have very different costs of living and some host universities provide additional benefits, such as reduced-rate student housing or scholarships. Please note that the cost sheets provided are only estimates, and at the time of your program some costs will be higher or lower than estimated due to variable such as: housing availability and your specific housing selection, host country immigration changes, or fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
