<p>how many semesters do students usually do abroad? how much does it cost per semester (about how much)?</p>
<p>From those who I've spoken with, students usually only spend one semester aborad (because of cost, mainly). And the cost completely varies because of factors such as where the location is, what time of the year it is, and on the program at the college. I know that at a local community college around here, 1 semester in Oxford is about $2800.</p>

<p>thats not bad i would expect it to be a whole lot more...does that include everything or just tuition?</p>
<p>Everything except airfare, but I think you're only taking one or two classes that whole semester.</p>
<p>At some schools, I think it doesn't cost anything. NYU says you pay what you would normally to attend NYU in NYC for the semester but instead of being in nyc that semester youre in prague or ghana or some other place.</p>
<p>I plan on doing at least 2 semesters (fall in Spain, spring in Mexico/Peru/Chile/Argentina/Venezuela) and then at least 2 summer terms (England and maybe more time in Spain or Morocco).</p>
<p>The cost doesn't really bother me because it will pay for itself in time.</p>
<p>^^^thats exactly how i feel about college in general.<br>
that and national debt, ha.</p>
<p>anyway, i want to do a semester in like Ireland, New Zealand, or Australia for the cool atmosphere. Or in the UAE or somewhere else in the Middle East for the experience(poli sci major)</p>
<p>I want to do a semester in London. The journalism program at Mizzou, where I'm going, has a really awesome and unique study abroad program in London. It comes out to about $3,000 more than the regular cost of school when you work all the numbers, but tuition itself is exactly the same. Its other factors that raise the price, which you should definitely consider and be prepared for. Look into the programs your school offers and see where you can get the most bang for your buck--ideally, you want to be able to immerse yourself in the culture, take classes at a local college, and if possible also do an internship or help in the community. Be sure that you will not get off track in terms of graduating in four years, also.</p>
<p>yeah, i want to study abroad in Japan or Korea, mostly. But i goto korea anyways during the summer(the only reason i wanted to go was to stay with my parents during the year) I'm leaning towards Japan. @ USC apprantly, its going to be the same cost as attending @ USC (they had prices listed with all the airfare, etc included)</p>
<p>people I know reccommend a full year rather than a semester, but a lot of it has to do with price.</p>
<p>at my school, some of the programs are direct exchanges (we send a student, they send a student) and are really cheap - $600 or so plus normal tuition.
but some are designated 'study abroad' and run through a third party like Butler or something, and are hella pricey. it all depends. </p>
<p>I'm seriously considering doing study abroad in Australia, so I'm researching all this</p>
<p>I spent a year abroad but that is unusual. I wouldn't trade it for the world though. At my university, we pay normal tuition plus a fee. HOWEVER, if I had paid for my program directly it would have been maybe a quarter of the price so my university made tons of money off of me.</p>
<p>Sometimes its cheaper to go to just apply as an exchange student at the school you are intrested in attending. The problem is if you have scholarships or some sort of fin aid it will only pay for it if you go through your home school.</p>
<p>Can you still graduate on time if you go abroad? Do you take the same classes as if you were at your actual college?</p>
<p>most people i know only went for one, but it was comparable to their normal year at college.</p>
<p>yeah, you can graduate on time. In most cases the classes are comparable to normal college classes but they probably won't be exactly the same as a your college and (unless you are studying directly at a university abroad) there are many fewer classes. So make sure you can still meet all your requirements with the options for classes you will have abroad and check that everything will transfer and you will be fine.</p>
<p>I spent a year abroad AND am graduating a year early but that required some juggling. But it was the best decision I ever made.</p>
