<p>Oh yeah, and you should never have to pay for study abroad. In fact, any decent program will likely give you an extra scholarship to help defray some of the extra incidental costs you incur from being in a foreign country. </p>
<p>The only thing you should have to pay is your regular tuition to your *home *university, your flight, and your room & board + incidental/personal expenditures. If someone is trying to make you pay a fee for the “privilege” or to cover the costs of “administration” they are trying to rip you off.</p>
