Notes:
Tuition - Student exchange agreements between the U of A and foreign institutions stipulate that outbound U of A students pay for 15 hours of U of A tuition & on campus fees during their term abroad. Students are charged according to their major/college tuition rates. Students enroll in courses at a foreign institution.  
 
Airfare - 
Students are responsible for making their own travel arrangements.  
 
Meals - 
This budget assumes a $150/week budget for food. Depending on the student's housing choices and personal habits, this can be highly variable. 
 
Books - 
Books, supplies & supplemental course fees can vary widely by academic program and destination. 
 
Personal Expenses -

Health Insurance - 
International Health Insurance is required to obtain a student visa and enroll in academic programs in this country.
