<p>Not to hijack, but a question to Carolyn - are there cases where a student can have a work study job while studying abroad? My daughter has a work study award now, but I just assumed it would not be available for the year she will spend in Russia.>></p>
<p>It really depends on the program. If it’s a location and program run by the school she attends and they have a need for on-site student help, perhaps there will be opportunities for work study jobs – but most of my kids who have significant financial aid find they’re out of luck with work study while studying abroad.</p>
<p>If students can pay “full freight” or close to it for attending a university overseas for all four years (not Study abroad for a year or semester), Australia, Canada, Ireland and the UK would be my main suggestions, especially if they hope to go on to graduate school in the future. But, students need to understand that the curriculum and systems can be very different outside the U.S. and make sure that it is right for them and their goals.</p>
