<p>I just heard that Cornell makes you pay double tuition if you want to study abroad... is that true? Because that's a HUGE amount of money! Just wondering if anyone had heard anything about that.</p>
<p>what's your source?</p>
<p>I don't think so. One of my housemates is studying abroad in Spain next semester and from what she says, it seems she is only charged once. If anything, her financial aid goes further since her costs abroad will be smaller than her costs here.</p>
<p>This is from the Cornell's Study Abroad website:</p>
<p>How Much Does It Cost?</p>
<p>There are two different sets of costs for study abroad:</p>
<p>On Cornell programs in Berlin, Copenhagen, Göteborg, Kyoto, Paris, Nepal, Seville, and the United Kingdom, a comprehensive fee is charged that includes tuition, housing, orientation costs, meals on some of the programs, and administrative charges. Not included are meals, depending on the program, air travel, personal expenses, books, commuting, and your personal health insurance.</p>
<p>For non-Cornell administered programs and universities, which you may want to think of as external study abroad, you will pay the costs charged by the program, plus additional charges, such as meals, airfare, personal expenses, books and commuting, and the Cornell International Program Tuition.</p>
<p>The Cornell International Program Tuition pays for grant financial aid that is made available to all study abroad students exactly as if they were here on the Ithaca campus; it also pays the costs of Cornell Abroad and indirect costs to the university.</p>
<p>For current Cornell Abroad costs, please see Costs, Billing, and Financial Aid.</p>
<p>Cornell Abroad staff will show you comprehensive budgets that include all the costs of study abroad to give you an estimated bottom line figure for the programs or universities you are most interested in, which you can compare to an analysis of your total on-campus costs.</p>
<p>I saw a sign today in Roberts hall about a special offer for Ag. Life students from NY to study in Austrailia and still pay the instate tuition, so you might want to look into the possibility of there being other, similar deals.</p>
