Comparing the Cost of Study Abroad
The Office of Study Abroad is here to help you understand the various costs associated with studying abroad.
Studying abroad will almost always involve costs that wouldn't normally be part of a semester spent at Brandeis. For example, you'll be responsible for arranging a flight to and from your study abroad location. There may be costs to enter, such as acquiring a passport if you don't have one or applying for a visa if you need one. But other expected costs will also look different than they would on campus. For example, there are many study abroad programs in locations where the cost of living is significantly lower than the Boston area, meaning that your housing and meal costs will be lower than they typically would be in Waltham.
Using the below Program Cost Comparison document, you can compare different programs and terms to see how the estimated costs compare to the average cost of attendance at Brandeis. Please note that all costs are estimates and can change. They are estimates provided by the program for the term noted.
