Out-of-State Students — remember to look for programs where you can get in-state tuition for additional savings! 

Non-billable costs and tuition are not factored into this list — it is important to research the cost of living in the area you are interested in studying abroad. Your own decisions, such as staying local on the weekends instead of travelling, opting for a homestay with meals included, and studying in an area with a lower cost of living can all make a huge difference here!
