Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? Cell phones, groceries, injuries, traveling: all of these are expenses that you will have to take into account. Don't hold back on the traveling!!!!! Work as hard as possible before hand so that you can spend as much money as you like on the things that matter most. But be sure not to spend money on frivolous stuff!
