Worth every penny!!!!! Past Review
By Kayley oconnell (Eastern Illinois University) - abroad from 06/07/2017 to 09/27/2017 with
FUA Experiential Learning and Internship Opportunities
Worth every penny! I wish all students could have the opportunity to study abroad! There is no class or anything someone could tell you that would give you the same experience and knowledge that studying abroad gives to students

Yes
I can’t explain enough how amazing our teacher was at FUA she was so caring, helpful, understanding, and so knowledge. I thought the school aspect of studying abroad was going to be the worst part but thanks to Mrs. Nannini it was the best part of the whole experience. |
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) |
Depends if you eat out. We had a kitchen in our apartment and a grocery store on our street. If you grocery shop and cook at home you will save a ton of money! Eating out can get alittle pricey |
| Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? | $100 |
| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | Buy grocery’s and cook at home eating out gets expensive |

Direct Enrollment/Exchange
