<p>Thank you very much for all of your information. I now know to buy a round trip ticket.
Has anyone heard of the overseas university offering student round trip group ticket at a reduced price?</p>
<p>Both of my kids and my stepson did study abroad programs where the airfare was part of the tuition costs. I assumed that was the case with most programs that are through US colleges or universities. I know my son-in-law enrolled directly in a Russian university when he studied abroad and he had to buy his own ticket. For a student visa in Russia, one needs a round trip ticket.</p>
