I really want to study abroad this summer or next school year but I am not rich. Is there any way to find cheap room and board in other countries? I would like to study in S. America or Central America. I'm 21 and have a passport. I would not mind staying with a family nor would I mind working to pay my way.
Any suggestions?
What is a cheap way to study abroad?
I would suggest you to study in Australia as international students in Australia are allowed to work while studying to help yourself in financial and besides schools in Australia are great.
Look for IDP education in you region and you will get more information on studying abroad.

Are jobs in a college study abroad office difficult to obtain?How do I got about finding them?
I have studied and worked abroad and have always been interested in working in a college/university study abroad office. I never see these jobs posted on higher education websites and wonder how to get my foot in the door. What are the chances for getting a job in this department and are there opportunities for advancement?
Are jobs in a college study abroad office difficult to obtain?How do I got about finding them?
The job market for Study Abroad Offices is really tight and competitive. Most institutions hire from within for many positions and SA is no different.
That said, here are some places to look:
http://chronicle.com/jobs/300/100/5750/
http://www.academic360.com/
Schools posting to the Chronicle of Higher Education are usually pretty open to hiring someone from the outside as those ads are expensive. Academic 360 (the second link) is a digest of practically every school in the country organized geographically or by the type of job you are looking for.
Another option would be to consider more schooling. The School for International Training (http://www.sit.edu/) offers a Master of Arts in International Education. Before you say you do not want any further schooling, remember that about 200,000 students study abroad every year - having studied abroad is great, but not rare. If you are serious, you might want to think about going back to school.
Good luck!
Reply:hmm, i would think going back to your alma mater and see if they would like an alumnus to work in their study abroad office...
also, sometimes websites may not be fully updated, so try calling the offices of several universities you're interested in working at and see if they have any openings! Being multilingual may be an asset to landing the job too.
Reply:hey,If u wanna work from home on your computer then there are many options - write articles, sell on eBay, make a website, take surveys.

Best of Luck for whatever u choose to do :)

What is the best grade for a high school student to study abroad?
I've set my heart on studying abroad in a Japanese high school. I'm currently a freshman in a four year high school. What year would be the best to go study abroad: sophomore, junior, or senior?
What is the best grade for a high school student to study abroad?
Ha! When I clicked on your question I was surprised to find that you want to go to Japan because that is where I went!
I really think it depends on your emotional maturity frankly speaking. I would assume the oder one gets the better this maturity is. If you feel you are ready to be very far from home and isolated until you make friends, then I would say any of those years are fine. The Japanese, while kind, are very shy, and the isolation one feels when there is very difficult. But, I assume you will chose a good program that will allow you to interact with others on your progam and have a lot of events/activities.
I persoanlly went junoir year because I wanted to have my senoir year at school with my friends and to graduate with them; but I say the earlier the better because the experience will make you a better person, and you will be able to see things differently. If you do this sophomore year, that means when you get back junior year you will have the benefit of the gained outlook and probably will be better able to decide what route you wish to take after HS. Particularly what you will want to do in college.
Aside from being in a romantic relationship with a Japanese person, making close friends is difficult because they tend to view you as an outsider and always will. This really annoyed me about them when I was there. Actually, the great friends I did end up making were from other English-speaking countries! Australia, England, Ireland, Canada, Signapore - many of us are still close friends and see each other when traveling overseas. I believe your time in Japan will be a stepping stone to many other cultures as well.
Good luck!
And practice the language as much as possible before going. You can easily learn and ready hirigana to learn grammer quickly. Kanji will take time of coure; but the speaking will get you much farther than textbook reading.
Happy Thanksgiving!

What are the best places to study abroad?
Have you ever done this? If so, where did you go/ what were your experiences there? Where are great places to study?
I'm pretty much asking for any information on the study abroad subject, whatever you want to respond about it will help!
What are the best places to study abroad?
There are so many choices. You should really consider what your goals are. Like the Cheshire Cat said to Alice, (I'm paraphrasing) "If you don't know where you're headed, it doesn't matter which road you take."
It seems like one thing to consider is whether the study abroad program will help you accomplish your degree goals. That depends a lot on what your major is. You can start by talking to the advisor in your major department. After all, you don't want to spend all this tuition money on a study abroad unless it will help you do SOMETHING.
Your school might also have a study-abroad office that has worked with students from your major before, so you should definitely talk to them too. They can make recommendations. The school might also have programs that are designed to help students from your school specifically. Those are good to check out, but they are not the only options. There are also grant programs that help students pay for their study abroad. For example, a program that helps students study in Germany is the DAAD (www.daad.org).
In my case, I looked at my upcoming situation in the summer of 2002 and said, "I've been studying Spanish for a year, and I have some money and time. Why don't I study in a Spanish-speaking country this summer?" I searched the 'net for study-abroad programs and ended up making contact with a small university in Mexico City. They helped me find a family to stay with while I was there (I paid rent for the room and breakfast) and I took classes at that school. It definitely gave me the experience I was looking for: strengthening my Spanish skills and getting to know Spanish-speaking culture. So, in my case, I feel that I had a successful study-abroad experience that I was able to arrange on my own and not through the school. I'm quite a risk-taker, so it wasn't scary to me to do this on my own. However, if you go with a program from your school, it might be a little more familiar.
On the other hand, as a friend of mine commented, if you go with a program from your school, you spend a lot of time with people from your school, unless you're willing to branch out and meet new people on your own.
Also, I have to admit that, going on my own to Mexico, I probably spent at least as much or more money than I would have spent with the pre-arranged program.
I'm studying German now and I am thinking of going abroad next summer too, so obviously I had such a good experience that I'm willing to repeat it.
Reply:i have never but i own prperty and could not leave during the school year. at CSU they have a "sister" school in new zealand and a professor goes there every other semester so that would have been fun. a great place and one of the more affordable places to go. you will mostly earn global awareness "or other such" and elective credits.

How well does a study abroad advisor get paid?
How well does a study abroad advisor at an university get paid? Obvisously not that well, but its not like they pay below 30k? My guess is between 30 and 40k? Any one know?
How well does a study abroad advisor get paid?
It depends on the school, your degrees, and your experience. Check out the Chronicle of Higher Education job postings to see who is looking (though this is not the typical time in the season to be looking in higher ed- usually people stay for the academic year and postings pick up around March-July). Then call or visit the individual school's website to see if there is a posted salary range.
You are likely OK with the 30K minimum guess. And there are LOT of non-monetary perks when working in higher ed.

What are some good study abroad programs in Spain?
My friends and I have already decided we want to study abroad in spain. The problem is finding a good fitting program for the spring semester. We are looking for something less costly anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 the most.
What are some good study abroad programs in Spain?
You did not mention if you are high school or college age. Some programs are specific to certain ages or countries. If you are enrolled in college already, then check with your counselor or advisor about programs through the school. Check out the sites below. I have personal experience with Ayusa as a host family to three students FROM Spain.

How do I convince my mom to let me study abroad?
I'm currently a sophomore in high school and I would really like to study abroad next year. The program I would study abroad through would not cost a lot of money compared to some other ones (it'd probably be around 5,000 dollars). My parents are divorced; my dad has agreed but my mom says no. How can I convince her to let me study abroad? I've got my heart set on going, and it really means a lot to me. How can I make her understand?
How do I convince my mom to let me study abroad?
Hi!
Wow, what an opportunity for you! Studying abroad will be the experience of a lifetime and your junior year is the best time to go!
One good way to convince the parents is money! Offer to earn the money that you would need to cover your personal expenses -- probably $200 - $300/month depending upon the exchange rate. If you do that, you'll show you're very serious about your exchange.
Another is how important this could be for your future! Colleges and universities LOVE exchange students -- especially if you have studied for a year! Many offer preferred admissions and/or scholarship money. Your exchange organization probably has a list of those that do.
In addition, you will have the advantage of knowing another language and a greater understanding of other people. Both of these will be very valuable in the workplace, especially if you keep up your language training in college!
You will mature a lot! This year is not a party year! That's something your parents have to understand. This will be the hardest academic year you will undertake! American high schools are a piece of cake compared to those in Europe and Asia!
Speaking of academics, your high school should give you credit for your year -- usually at least in foreign language, social studies, math and science (since you will probably have to take those there). You will probably have to double up and take two English classes and American History and American Government in your senior year however -- or perhaps in the summer before or after you go!
If you have exchange students in your school, invite them home to meet your mom! Let her talk to them and see how much they are getting out of their year! Perhaps they can even arrange an exchange of letters or e-mail with their parents ... after all, they talked THEM into it!:)
Hopefully these ideas will help. I also encourage you to check out http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/ This site was written by exchange students (and some adult host parents including "moi") and it covers everything from the initial idea to returning home after your year.
Good luck to you -- I hope your dream comes true!
Reply:I'm a junior right now and I was in the exact same position last year (I wanted to go to London)! First of all, you want to make sure that is what you truly want to do. The study abroad program covers a few things including tuition. You want to check if the $5000 includes living expenses (food and housing in London is realllllyyyy expensive.)
Once you decide you want to go for sure, do some research on the universities there. That will show your mom you really want to go.
Then, come up with a list of reasons why you should go. Also, come up with a list of reasons why your mom wouldn't want you to go and come up with a counter-example for each.
When you are ready, confront your mom with your new info! And use as much of it as you can.
Let me know how it goes!
Reply:Pay for it yourself. Then how could they refuse?
Reply:You need to find a foreign exchange student at your school perhaps. Befriend them, which shouldn't be hard to do, as they always have something interesting to say. Bring them home, and have them explain to your mom what it is like, and why the adventure is so rewarding.

Question Details: Please share any input reguarding past experiences in a perticular country or countries and information on the people, food, and enviroment. Im an extremely flexible person and will eat anything you put in front of me. I would very much prefer to have at least some if not extensive teachings on such country's language and culture. Thanks a ton!
What is the best country to study abroad in for a high school student during the summer?
I've studied abroad (year after high school) in Germany and (now) in Poland.
Germany is pretty Westernized. Most western European countries are very American and the food is relatively similar to American. I liked Germany when I was there, but the area I was in, the people were very cold. It's a gorgeous country, though. German is not such an easy language, but almost everyone knows English. It's also really close to a number of different countries, if you wanted to travel a little.
Poland is very different. I ate pig's blood a few days ago (which is totally normal here). The people here are really nice, but in Warsaw people don't smile as much. There's been a lot of problems in Poland because of Germany and (former) Soviet Union and a lot of people have the 'we're victims' kinda mentality. But people are usually up for a good party or a nice walk.
I honestly liked Poland better than Germany, but where you should go depends on what you're interested in.
I've travelled to various other countries (France, England, Ireland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, etc.) but didn't get as much of a view of the people. Switzerland and Austria are similar to Germany. Czech Republic is similar to Poland. England is really English. If you have more questions about Poland or Germany, I'd be glad to answer more specific questions more in detail.

You can also arrange a fundraiser by asking people in your community to donate goods or services. For example ask your hairdresser to donate a haircut. You can also ask your neighbors to donate goods and sell it on ebay or craigslist.

Study abroad program for the summer in Paris suggestions?
I intend to do a study abroad program lasting anywhere from 6-10 weeks in Paris this summer. I am a student at UCLA and cannot decide which company's program to choose. I am an international economics major with a minor in French. Does anyone have any experience with studying abroad, suggestions as to how to pick a company, programs that they've taken, or general advice? I would be willing to do anything business, economics, or advanced French study related as a program focus.
Study abroad program for the summer in Paris suggestions?
Check out the ESGCI-BBA program, as it sounds exactly like what you are looking for. I attended this school for 2 years and the Courses (Finance, Marketing, and Management) you take and the students (80% international, 20% French) you meet are both great.

One of the biggest questions you have to ask yourself is if you are going to use an exchange program or if you are going to just pickup and go. The former is easier as the school gives you lots of support finding an apartment (with international roomates), but you need to make sure your school is willing to exchange with whichever program you choose. Check with your international department for a list of schools they do an exchange with. If the program you want is not on the list, ask if they are willing to start doing an exchange.
But if your school cannot do an exchange and/or you are adventurous enough to just pick up and go on your own, you will be on your own. I did this, and was able to find an apartment through craigslist from a British lady the first year, and from an Australian couple the second year, so both spoke English which made it easier.
The assistants in France program is for students who want to work teaching English while they go to school in France. Check it out if you decide to stay longer, or if you want a LOT of information about what is required to aclimate to living in France.

Reply:I spent 3 months in Europe. 1 month was spent in Paris. Honestly it was the best decision I made during college. I highly recommend anyone who is able to study abroad to do so. It's an experience of a lifetime.
As for a Company, I would pick in Paris one that: (1) you have an interest in their product/service (2) has an international versus simply a European presence (3) provides you with the possibilty of actually learning versus simply stuffing envelopes and answering calls, as many of the internships in America end up being (4) is not prone to the annoying regular labor strikes that happen in France!!
Suggestions...if you need walking around money...get what you need from a ATM...the exchange rates strangely are the best that way...oh and TRAVEL everywhere!

What study abroad destination might be a good fit for me?
I'm strongly interested in studying abroad. Japan is definitely ideal. However, I fear that I might not be able to fit in. Thus, I am wondering if you could lend me some advice on picking a destination that would best suit me. Here are some things about me: I like science and technology, soccer, music, tennis, I'm not really outgoing, I enjoy being outdoors when the whether is warm (I'm from the beach), and I highly value education. Given these qualities, do you have any suggestions on possible study abroad destinations that would good for me? Thanks!
What study abroad destination might be a good fit for me?
what is your real interest? i can help you get admission in medical college at nepal . interested?
Reply:Go to college and sign up for the exchange program they run. Pick a school abroad that has classes that you are very serious about, things in your major. Otherwise, you're just going there for play when you could kill 2 birds with one stone (being abroad and fulfilling major requirements). If you highly value education, be in for a bit of a shock at the average Japanese campus as they are very serious K-12 but college is when they relax and party.
Reply:I studied in Spain for a semester and it was awesome. It has everything: Skiing, Beaches, Art, big cities, small towns. I highly recommend it.
Reply:Try Here. It’s an excellent site with some wonderful options for you. You won't regret opening it. It will definitely help you. Have a look.

What are good study abroad programs in Italy?
I am hoping to study abroad in Italy next summer. My major is Food and Nutrition, so I thought it might be interesting to do some type of program involving cooking classes, etc. I would prefer to go to Rome or Florence or possibly Tuscany. Any tips about anything relating to this subject?
Thanks.

Italy is always a place for good nutritious food %26amp; good wine. Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany all are beautiful places to study, live and work, that too in the field Food.
I honestly feel that one should pursue a career, only if he/she have the knack %26amp; interest to excel in it. Best of luck.

How expensive would it be to study abroad in Europe instead of going to college in the USA?
Why do people study abroad?
I hear it's actually really cheap to study in Europe? I'm confused. Because Europe is generally expensive...
Can someone just give me an overview of why people study abroad, the requirements to study abroad, and if it's more expensive/less expensive? Thanks.
How expensive would it be to study abroad in Europe instead of going to college in the USA?
If you want to study abroad I recommend you enroll at a US institution and then study abroad for a year through your institution (often you can just pay your own tuition and still get to go abroad - which is awesome).
Whoever told you it was cheap to study in Europe was CRAZY - unless they're from Europe. If you're from the European Union and you want to study at any uni in the European Union, you're golden. I studied at the University of Limerick - tuition is something like 5,000 Euro for EU citizens and 12,000 for non-EU citizens.
Study here and take the opportunity to study abroad for year through your university. I had a WONDERFUL experience. I would recommend it to anyone - it really broadens your views of the world. Check out the university you're looking at - their website should tell you about study abroad options.
Reply:I cannot believe that it can be economically viable for a US citizen to study in Europe. I appears that people from every country fill the halls of American colleges and Universities. There must be a reason. If it is cheaper to study here in the US than their own countries, why are they here? I would certainly do a lot of checking this out before I made a decision.
Good luck.
Reply:You can look for Masters in UK,Duration of masters is one year in UK %26amp; fees is approx 7-8 laks,

I start a study abroad LLC~ Do I just fill out income tax?
I live in Gergia~ I just started a study abroad LLC company~ Basically my business is sending students to universities in other countries~ Do I just need to pay federal income and Georgia income tax?
I start a study abroad LLC~ Do I just fill out income tax?
Yes, any income the LLC earns is your personal income which you report on schedule C, then transfer the net income or loss to form 1040.
Reply:You also have to pay self employment social security tax. It is calculated together with your income tax if you file form C. Report Abuse

I'm preparing for my first study abroad next year %26amp; have to decide where I want to go. I am leaning towards Europe, because of the central location %26amp; access to so many other locations. I'll be doing the study for credit towards my master in Economics.

What is the best country to study abroad in?
I studied for a semester in Taipei, Taiwan last summer and in Krakow, Poland last fall. Before I studied abroad, I was fluent in English and conversational in German. I'd also taken a few semesters of Mandarin Chinese, but a while had passed, and I'd forgotten most of it. I didn't know any Polish at all. Since studying abroad, my Mandarin has improved and I've learned enough Polish to maintain simple conversations :D
Taipei was amazing. The people are so friendly, and I made so many friends that I still keep in touch with. These people not only made me feel at home on campus, but they also cooked meals for me, invited me to their homes, took me out after class, showed me their city, and were just all-around amazing people. Every day after morning classes, a group of us would meet to go to lunch off campus. What started as a group of 5 turned into a group of 15 as the semester went on. I'm not really a "people person," but I felt very comfortable with these people. Taipei itself was an amazing city. It's a great mix of the very contemporary with the very ancient, and the very traditional with the very modern. Their public transportation system can't be beaten, their food is cheap and amazing, and their nightlife is beyond description. I'm considering moving back.
Krakow was another amazing city. I went there to bond with some distant relatives (not to make friends my own age), so I didn't get much experience in hanging out with Polish college kids (other than my relatives and a few of their friends). I do know that Krakow is my favorite place to be, and I love the Polish culture. People don't walk down the street smiling unless they've got a specific reason to be smiling, so they can look unfriendly to outsiders. However, these are people who will bend over backwards trying to be hospitable to you. The food is delicious, the lifestyle (lots of fresh air) is very healthy, and the culture of the city is so rich. My favorite thing about Polish people is their openness. In Polish shops, if the salesgirl shows you a shirt that you don't like, you can come right out and tell her, "No, this is ugly, I don't want it" and nobody will get offended or even surprised. If you're standing in line at a grocery store and the cashier and a customer are arguing, you can expect the people in line with you to begin to openly discuss what's going on and choose sides and argue on behalf of their pick. At the security line in the airport, you can hear people saying, "That woman should be allowed to cut line! She has two small children" and "Why is that man cutting? There's nothing wrong with him!" and "Aren't these security checks ridiculous?" It sounds like they complain a lot, but it's really a sort of form of friendliness because it's also striking up smalltalk and turning groups of strangers into temporary teams.
I've also spent 5-14 days in:
Beijing, China
Sevilla, Spain
Germany
Vienna, Austria
Prague, Czech Republic
Calcutta, India
...and 2 days in London, England and 1 day in Gibraltar
So if you want to know about any of those cities, add some info to your question and I'll let you know what I experienced there :)
One of the best things I can tell you is don't let language hold you back from studying in a place that you find interesting or intriguing. Figuring things out as you go is part of the fun! Every single moment is part of a huge adventure. When you wake up in a country where you don't speak the language, you say to yourself something like, "Okay. Today is Operation: Chocolate Milkshake. My goal for today is to buy a chocolate milkshake." Then, the adventure begins. What words do you need to know to buy a chocolate milkshake? Do they even sell chocolate milkshakes in this country? Where I can I buy the ingredients to make my own? Will I have to substitute fresh strawberries for chocolate? When you go to bed at night, another day of adventure over (and a new day of adventure waiting for you tomorrow), you have such a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Reply:since u r very fluent in english u can go to uk where many universities r world recognised,the standards r very high n honoured.good luck.
