Interesting but a great experience Past Review
By A student (University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee) - abroad from 09/02/2018 to 12/22/2018 with
CEPA Foundation: Strasbourg - EU Studies Semester Abroad Program
I have learned so much about travel, the cultures, people from all over the world, and so much more. 100% worthwhile!

Finances
|
* Money: How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?
(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost) |
it just depends on what you spend your money on. if you cook food every night you will defiantly save more than if you order food. |
| Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? | roughly maybe 100? |
| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | just use transportation when you can, don't order ubers every where. |

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
