Responsibility for paying program bills is yours. Make sure that you understand your program's billing procedure. Due dates may differ significantly from those to which you are accustomed at Bowdoin, especially at institutions in the southern hemisphere.
Some institutions expect full payment for the year before enrollment.
If you are enrolling directly in a foreign university, you will need to make arrangements to pay the bill in the currency of that country. Many programs and universities will require that you send a deposit of several hundred dollars to secure your place. Most overseas programs are less expensive than Bowdoin, but at some, often those run by U.S. institutions overseas, fees and incidental expenses can make the cost of attendance as high as it is at Bowdoin, or even higher. Direct enrollment in foreign universities is usually cheaper than attending through an American third-party program. Read catalogues closely to find out whether costs such as airfare, meals, and vacation housing are included.
