<p>Totally agree with you on this. I did just that and I spent two months at a language school, which cost me about $1600, including housing. </p>
<p>There was a study abroad group in the same school and they told me they were each paying around $3,500 for one month. </p>
<p>They had arrangements to get credit through their schools program – I didn’t. But when I got back I took a standardized test and got 6 credits. Whoohoo! :)</p>
