How much should an internship cost the student?

No reason to do one that’s “overseas in a very expensive city” unless it is directly relevant (majoring in foreign language, international relations, etc.)–sounds more like a vacation than an internship.

<p>Heh. I did one that was overseas in a very expensive city (and I wasn’t majoring in French or IR). I’m not sure that I would call it a vacation - I worked 50 hours/week. I managed to save a lot of money by living in a cheap boarding house and buying food from the grocery store rather than restaurants. And by walking everywhere.</p>
