At some sites arrangement can be made to share a room with a Chinese student. There are cafeterias for foreign students and for Chinese students on each campus. The estimated costs for SUNY students who are residents of New York State are given below for tuition and fees, books, housing and meals, insurance, and group activities. Students should anticipate additional expenses for overseas and local transportation, passports and visas, and miscellaneous personal expenses. A more detailed cost sheet is available upon request.
All costs are subject to change.
The Albany Office of Financial Aid is able to consider only the applications of students matriculated at Albany for degree study. Other SUNY and non-SUNY students should contact the Office of Financial Aid on the home campus for information about eligibility for aid programs. The State University Board of Trustees requires that all participants in overseas programs purchase a SUNY health insurance policy which provides coverage for study abroad. This requirement has been waived for the China program as the Student Exchange Agreements between the University at Albany and the Chinese institutions stipulate that American participants receive benefits under China's national health service. Because the Chinese plan covers expenses within the host country only, students may wish to purchase additional health insurance.
