With all the talk about the economy, the lower value of the US and
Canadian Dollars against the Euro, rising gas prices, etc - thinking
about study abroad as an investment in your future (or in the case of a
long needed educational vacation - your sanity!) may seem to be more of
a luxury than a necessity.
But as is often the case, just look and ye shall find...
Even now, many study abroad destinations are surprisingly
affordable. You often can't stay at home doing nothing for
less than what it costs to have an all-inclusive study experience in
one of these culturally rich places. NRCSA has brought back
our list of the top 20 most affordable study abroad programs - a
continuously updated list of some of the best values in language study
abroad. From a two week language vacation on the
coast in Guatemala for less than $60 per day (inclusive of tuition and lodging)...to a month language and culture program,
including lodging, in the "cultural heart" of Japan - the historic city
of Kyoto - for less than half the cost of an average hotel stay
there...a little-known secret is that some of the best programs for
study abroad are actually easy on the pocketbook.
Living as part of another culture can make you a more empathetic
and culturally sensitive person. Learning a new language can
make you more marketable, a more savvy traveler, and better
educated.
Please
contact NRCSA with your budget & interests and we will be happy to let you know what options are available.
