<p>My daughter is interested in studying abroad. If she attends a study abroad program for an entire semester, will she still have to pay room and board?</p>
<p>Neither of my d’s attended Pitt but both studied abroad, one at Temple Rome although she did not attend Temple. The other at IES program in Vienna. In both cases we paid tuition and room costs, no board to our home university and those funds were transferred to the study abroad program to pay for housing as part of the program. In Temple Rome program d lived in a student housing apartment that came with small kitchen so no meals were included. In younger d’s case, she lived in apartment with other students that came with full kitchen and no meals were included. That is pretty traditional for most housing options/arrangements for study abroad unless you are in a home stay with a family where the arrangments are different.</p>
<p>No, the student does not pay room & board at Pitt when they are abroad. If the student is living off-campus, you would be responsible for the rent unless you sublet or can break the lease.</p>
<p>thanks- that’s good news. what if she stays in one of Pitt’s apartment-style accommodations such as Bouquet Gardens - does she still not have to pay room and board?</p>
<p>My son had to give up his apartment-style housing when he did a co-op during the fall semester. Housing allowed him to break his housing agreement but he lost his room in the apartment. They assigned it to another student but when he returned to Pitt during the Spring semester, they put him in a single at Towers. I would assume you wouldn’t want to pay for the room at Bouquet Gardens if she is not living there.</p>
