It depends on how you plan on studying abroad. I'm doing it through an exchange program so I pay my tuition fee's to my home uni. Where as I could have just applied straight to another uni off my own back in which case I would have had to pay the fee's for my host uni which had i done would have been a whole lot more expensive!
I've just been accepted to study at UConn on an exchange program. Any one have any experiences with exchange programs? Particularly interested in the difference between English and American uni's. As well as any tips about Connecticut/America in general for an incoming Brit!
