Many students assume that study overseas costs more than they can afford.
Although it is an undeniable fact that studying overseas with the California State University International Programs requires money, the surprising reality is that the cost is within the financial reach of most CSU students. Consider that since 1963 nearly 12,000 CSU students have successfully managed to raise the funds necessary for a year of overseas study. You can do it, too, but the key is to begin planning early. While overseas you will need to pay for the same expenses you do in California, including rent, food, registration and nonresident fees, if applicable, personal expenses, etc. In addition, there will be new costs for transportation and vacation travel.
