<p>Study</a> Aboard The Scholar Ship and Experience a World of Difference</p>
<p>I'm really, really into this idea.
Does anybody have any experience/opinions on it?</p>
<p>I'll be applying to the September 09' semester, if any,
so I have a while to figure out how is really works.</p>
<p>Sounds nice, but holy crap, it costs $20k for a 16 week trip? :|</p>
<p>You may want to post any questions you have about the "scholar ship" on the parents forum, as I remember there was a discusion there recently.</p>

<p>That's just about as much as tuition, room and board at a private college for one semester (which does not even have 16 weeks). And the ship does offer financial aid.</p>
<p>looks like the ship is only a 2 year thing?</p>
<p>The Australian university that is involved is nondescript, second tier university.
And I dont think that Cardiff University is especially highly regarded in the UK.</p>
<p>I'm doing something like that, only it's a 180 foot brig (tall-ship) rather than a converted cruise liner.</p>
