I spent a year in Spain as part of my course, and I worked as a language assistant instead of studying in a university. Because I was earning a salary, I didn't need to take out a student loan for that year. Being a student in the EU meant I was given an additional Erasmus grant on top of that and I was able to live comfortably, travel and still come back to the UK with savings. It also helped that I chose to live in a really cheap city.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17555046245117562604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791028027407236874.post-6214709849518185942016-03-12T16:16:19.274+00:002016-03-12T16:16:19.274+00:00I think the extra costs is where studying abroad g...I think the extra costs is where studying abroad gets students. Of course you want to study in a fantastic country, but what you really want to do is travel and SEE it, and maybe even a few neighboring countries if applicable. Always look at the cost of traveling and exploring while studying abroad.

I was already in so much debt, I couldn't justify spending a semester in a foreign country. I have a lot of great experiences in the United States though, so I guess that counts for something. <br /><br />Good points!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02815050248597082664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791028027407236874.post-87817551768232397032016-03-12T14:41:42.308+00:002016-03-12T14:41:42.308+00:00I know someone who spent a semester in France stud...I know someone who spent a semester in France studying French. She missed some of the requirements for her major while abroad and had to attend undergrad an additional semester. This put her behind a semester for grad school and spent last spring doing nothing. I was thinking about this recently and realized she would have been better off just spending a summer in France. Her minor was French, but it really doesn't apply to her major at all which is in health care. Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.com
