Cost
Although you won’t have to pay tuition fees to the overseas exchange institution, there are a number of expenses you will need to cover as an exchange student:
- Airfare
- Passport and visa expenses
- Travel and medical insurance (inquire about ECU’s free insurance)
- Accommodation
- Food
- Transportation
- Living expenses (phone, personal items etc)
- Spending money
The amount you will need to cover your exchange semester/s will vary according to the country, the type of accommodation you stay in, your spending habits and any extra travel you plan to undertake.
Some of our partners include information about living and accommodation costs on their websites. You can also find general information about airfares and other costs on the internet. So do some research and start planning a budget for yourself.
As a very broad guide, we estimate you would need at least $10,000 for one exchange semester, to cover all of the above items.
