Did your school cover studying abroad?

Question

Some colleges seem to include it in tuition, while for others it's a whole extra payment. Which one is normal? How much did it / would it cost for you to study abroad at your school?

Answer 1

if u get scholarship it will cover all. if not u must pay by urself

Answer 2

If by including it in tuition, you mean that you pay the tuition to your home school while you're studying abroad (rather than the overseas one) then yes, a lot of colleges do this, especially private ones (and a lot seem to just pocket the leftover money..)

At my school, we just did a direct enrollment. I paid tuition fees to the actual school abroad rather than my home university. Some others go through programs (CEA, etc.) where you pay the program fee only.

I went abroad to Australia and it only cost me around $12,000 for tuition + room/board. Although the flight cost almost $2,000 extra .. plus all the visas, health insurance, and everything else you need as well.
