Question

How much money does the average study abroad program for one semster cost?

Answer 1

I would say it depends on where you plan to go.  

From what I saw while doing my own researches, in average studying abroad in Europe is around $10,000 - $15,000.

In South America (Costa Rica, Ecuador...) it is about $7,000 - $10,000.

In Africa it is $10,000-13,000.

These prices are about the fees for just the school, you would have to pay something else  (around $1,000 - $5,000) for housing, and think about food, outings and other...

My recommendation would be:

- if you are just interesting in a study abroad experience (meaning just for a semester or year) go on www.studyabroad.com and you will be able to look for study abroad programs in the country of your interest and compare prices.

- if you want to get your bachelor and/or master degrees abroad, you can look on this great website: www.macquil.com . You will find US universities abroad and you can apply for students loans or scholarships.

Hope this helps.
