How can I study abroad for cheap $$$???

Question

I want to go to Egypt or Spain...any ideas on how for cheap...?

Answer 1

Teaching English is your key to world travel. Don't be afraid to forge some credentials, and hit town with a couple of grand to keep you fed. People in most places are very helpful to and indulgent of well-meaning foreigners with an interest in their language and culture, particularly, believe it or don't, if you happen to be an American.

Answer 2

I am studying abroad at Oxford this fall for just the cost of my plane ticket, so here are my tips:

- If you get scholarship money from your university, see what programs they have that you apply your scholarship to
- If you don't, take a leave of absence from school and apply directly to a foreign school as either a visting student or regular admission. Take the classes there and then transfer back in. This makes it so you pay their international tuiton and not your home school's, which will almost always save you money. My friend did this to study in Spain for less than what it cost her room and board at her US school.
- Apply for a Watson grant for the year after you graduate. It is a one year grant to study a foreign culture.
- If your tuition is cheap, see if you can work out a direct exchange at the school you are interested in.
- This is sneaky, but find some faculty who's research is some way involved with Spain or Egypt and who's sabatical is coming up in the next year. Take as many classes with them as you can and suck up. After you know them well ask them about their research and if you could possibly be a research assistant. You would get independent study/research credit and would get to see the world.

Good luck!

Answer 3

i dint' know about Spain but in Egypt you have to pay for your education no matter how you are brilliant you may ask in various schools but government university (major of universities in Egypt)
will make you study Arabic before you can graduate.
or you can go to a privet university and then you'll have to pay the most famous is called the Arab academy
www.aast.edu
but it won't be much because dollar in Egypt is about 5.70 pounds so that means you'll pay about 1200 for 1 semester for 8 semesters if you studied business that's about
That's all i know hope its useful

Answer 4

My friend lives in the UK.
She tells me if you are a legal citizen, your
medical, and school expenses are free.
I think I heard, you need to live in the UK
for two years before you can apply for
citizenship. It sounds like a lot of time to
invest, but just think of how long it would
take to pay off student loans...
Good Luck,
and a Bright Future!

Apply in cheap but reputable schools usually state universities since these are subsidized by the government.

Answer 7

dont "study", just go there for a few months and learn the culture, in spain you could likely work in a hostel or on and orchard, you wont get credits but you will learn a great deal about other cultures and life in general

Answer 8

wait until eventually you get into college/college -- maximum have study out of the country classes that grant classes in many aspects of the worldwide, and maximum faculties have rather beneficiant bursaries or scholarships, or a minimum of are better than prepared to help out a pupil financially. im unsure what the region is for faculties in the U. S. (if it relatively is the place you reside)...i circulate to college in canada and my college and numerous others grant study out of the country classes and rather magnificent scholarships. plus, the direction(s) you're taking on an identical time as out of the country count selection in the direction of your degree requirement

Answer 9

try to get into an exchange program. study as hard as you can, keep you record clean, and go to a good, cheap, reputable school close to you, and once you've earned a good rep, exchange to the place that will let you.
