How much spending money will my son or daughter need while abroad?
This will depend on your son or daughter’s spending and travel habits. It is a good idea to talk with your son or daughter prior to their program about establishing a travel and spending budget while abroad. In International Programs we have financial information sheets, which are based on estimated expenses for housing, food, travel to the host site, local transportation, and personal expenses including some entertainment. These, however, do not account for travel during weekends and breaks. Students are encouraged to use site-specific resources to ascertain estimated expenses and to contact returnee students.
