| Cost
Students
are required to complete a budget as a part of the application process, and
advisors discuss cost concerns with students as a part of the process of
deciding where to study abroad from the beginning.
In
many cases, the basic cost (tuition, room, and board) for a term abroad is
about the same as for a similar term at Trinity. There are also many programs
and locations that are more expensive than Trinity and others that are less
expensive. Often this is a matter of location. For instance, the cost of
living in Tokyo and London far exceeds the costs in San Antonio, and study in
those locations is usually more expensive.
Of
course, a part of the cost of going abroad is discretionary and students who
are experienced at setting and managing a personal budget will best be able to
manage the experience abroad and still include some personal travel and
exploration.
Trinity
works to make Study Abroad an option for all Trinity students. As a part of
that, the registration fee for each term abroad is only $75.00. In addition
students are required to enroll in a specific Study Abroad insurance policy
<see Required Study Abroad Insurance>. The cost is a little less that
$400 per semester, and summer enrollment ranges anywhere from $40 to $200
depending on the period covered. All other costs are paid directly to the
program or institution abroad. <see payment and financial aid>.
