<p>I'm interested in studying in Australia or England. Does anyone know how it works at UMD? Do you keep the same FinAid and how do the credits transfer? Anyone have any tips or experiences? thanks</p>

<p>if you study THROUGH the university of maryland, with one of their programs, you can apply your financial aid and the credits will transfer without a problem. the study abroad office can also help you find a program through another school or company (i did this in summer 06), but then you're on your own as far as money goes. most credits will transfer but if you're going on a non-UMD program they'll leave it up to you to check into that.</p>
