The amount students spend above what they pay the College varies greatly according to the individual student and the cost of living in the host city. Returning students suggest that an average of $1,500 -$2,500 extra (beyond lodging, meals, books and supplies) for a study away program is realistic. Students may be able to make it on less than these amounts if they budget carefully and restrict independent travel plans. Please see the budget sheet on Hornet Passport for your program’s specific costs.
