Study Abroad, for a week or a year, will change your life... in a GOOD way.
You will return 'home' with a far greater sense of what the rest of the world is really like, and how it compares to the Good Ol' U.S.A.   We all live in an amazing place, but there are many other cities and countries that are equally amazing.  This year or some day, in a group or alone, go visit them!   For most of us, it will be something you will remember for the rest of your life, and you'll never regret it.            Study Abroad.

 
Cost Comparison  (Links)
 
A note on the cost:

While $3,900 is certainly not 'pocket change' for most of us, we have tried to put a trip together that offers as much value to students as possible.

PLUS... after our travel, you can spend SIX MORE WEEKS in the labs, processing and printing, darkroom and / or Photoshop, to create a portfolio that you can frame, exhibit, and be proud of for years.

 

Tauck offered a 10 Day Italy Tour for about $7,000 (almost DOUBLE the cost of our tour.)  


 
I think you get the point.  Our tour, while not "cheap", is a relative BARGAIN.
