Is It Cheaper, Around The Same, Or More Expensive to Go To College In Another Country?
I'm guessing it depends on the country, but doing an exchanged student kind of program to a country like Spain, Italy, or Argentina would it be (most likely) more costly or less if you were to go to University in another country for a couple of semesters or about a year rather than in the US?

Well I know they have study abroad programs in most universities, but for the most part they're more expensive. But if you get scholarships and grants, then it shouldn't be an issue.

Hello Sleepy Head :D Hey i gave you a great answer in one of your old Q's about choosing the right path but I don't think you saw it. Exchange is REALLY EXPENSIVE. I've known people that have done it. The way it works is you go to your Study Abroad office at your current college/uni and you have to pay them thousands of dollars. You can't just take a break and enroll in a foreign school and go by yourself since you'd have to apply as an international student and this would be more expensive. If you are having trouble paying for college, attend an in-state public one (there are many SUNY schools) and apply for federal grants such as the Pell Grant (which is based on your parents' financials). You don't have to go to a community college unless you are really strapped for cash.

If you go to another country as an EXCHANGED student, you will pay your original university even if you're abroad. Instead if you suscribe to another university i can tell you that in Italy a public university (northern are very good) costs about 1500 euros a year, private about 12000. Spain is a little bit cheaper. would you mind to help me please? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al0Fx.Cbcg0M4h4h406XcWLHxQt.;_ylv=3?qid=20080906080838AAVD8pm

Well, the cost of living in some countries will be less than in the US, but you have to pay for your travel as well, so I'd say it'd still be more expensive. But if you can afford it, I think it'd be a great experience!

Iv done my research the other way as I want to come to Chicago to go College and have found Italian Milan Unis to be FAR cheaper. They basically charge you based on your family income, rather than set prices per semester or number of classes, etc. The point is that would apply if you did it not as a Foreign Exchange student but simply "came to uni" in Italy, as I would do if I come to Chicago. That's all I can say right now :) Still researching :)

Stay in the States. Less expensive because you can't get any money from the donors "Scholarships from rich people" and you have that here and the education in the states is better. I have a few arguments with Cambridge still Hawkings and Dawkins are good scientists but i still agree with both of them almost never. Look for as many scholarships as you can find there is more than you think. I received one for working a Py software and I also received a big amount for an essay in music(not my study).
