These figures are designed to assist students with financial planning but are only estimates based on past students’ experiences at the current exchange rate for each country. They do not include any entertainment or vacation travel costs.

The above numbers are general estimates of expenses during a program abroad. We recommend taking into account your current spending habits, the cost of living in your host country and the current exchange rate. Your IFSA-Butler program advisor can be helpful as you attempt to work on a personal budget for your experience abroad.

† Personal Miscellaneous estimates cover general expenses of college life, including course supplies, photocopying, toiletries, snacks, personal care, etc.

Commuting costs estimates are for transportation between housing and university. Transportation for personal or recreational purposes should be considered personal costs.

All costs are in U.S. dollars.
