Oct. 12, 2007 - When Lauren Harrison dreamed of studying abroad in Paris this fall, she imagined flying somewhere cool every weekend and tucking into crepes for lunch every day. But when she arrived, with the dollar reaching all-time lows against the euro, she began doing the math. Caf</p>
<p>I usually encourage kids to think beyond Europe when considering a year abroad. Parts of Asia and all of South America are cheaper, often more exotic and generally less overrun with American college kids.</p>

<p>Anyone buying prescription drugs from Canada are also affected. </p>
<p>We haven’t seen anything yet. Bring this topic up in Oct 2008.</p>
<p>For all the kids who worked crap jobs while in college just to eat and pay the rent, I say Boo F-ing Hoo.</p>
<p>The US will also see an influx of foreign students paying full tuition. This could mean that there could be more student aid for domestic students but also fewer domestic admissions.</p>
<p>barrons – LOL !</p>
<p>I agree with Katliamom, just stay out of Europe. My daughter had a pretty inexpensive travel abroad experience in Peru.</p>
