College affordability depends on more than just tuition. Here are some other factors to consider.
When Emma Freer was a high school senior in 2011, her impression of American campus culture — sororities, football games, broad course requirements — didn't appeal. Her parents had saved enough money to cover her in-state tuition, but, she says,"I knew I didn't want to go to Ohio State."
Lured largely by promises of cheaper tuition, college-bound Americans are increasingly eyeing programs abroad. TUITION"The tuition is what draws people in, what catches their attention," says Jennifer Viemont, founder of Beyond the States, a company that helps American students find degree programs in Europe.
For example, Norway has long offered free tuition to all students regardless of origin — but the average student there should budget about $1,260 per month for living expenses, according to the University of Bergen. When Freer studied at St. Andrews, the exchange rate was not in her favor."I would work all summer to save up, and when I would deposit the money into my Scottish bank account, it would sometimes be nearly half of what I put in in dollars," she says. Tuition fees could swing by a few hundred U.S. dollars, she says, depending on the day she paid her tuition.
