  Costs for the Semester in Antwerp

  The basic formula for the Semester in Antwerp total expenses

  •   tuition fees, room and board +
  •   program fee +
  •   air fare +
  •   spending money

  Note: You would be paying all of the above, except for a program fee and airfare even if you stay in Harrisonburg.

  Tuition, Fees, Room and Board

  Tuition, fees, room, and board have not yet been set for the 2005/2006 school year. These figures are based on the 2004/2005 school year. You should not be surprised by an increase for the 2005/2006 school year.

  In-State Tuition, Fees, Room and Board - $5,678
  Out-of-State Tuition, Fees, Room and Board - $10,150

  Program Fee

  The program fee for the semester in Antwerp is $4,000. This comprehensive fee pays for all field trips, transportation and lodging while traveling to other countries, tour guides, guest lecturers, books, etc., incurred by hosting the semester in Antwerp. In addition, it helps pay the differential in living expenses between Harrisonburg and Europe. Food and rent are more expensive in Europe than in Harrisonburg. While in Antwerp, we will give you a meal stipend of 75 euros each week.

  Airfare

  Airfare fluctuates with the market. You should budget somewhere between $500 and $800 for round trip airfare.

  Spending Money

  While in Europe, you will spend money just as you do in Harrisonburg. How much you spend is up to you. Europe is expensive, so as a rule of thumb, double the amount of spending money you would have in Harrisonburg. Of course, if you travel to other countries or buy many souvenirs, you would need substantially more money than you would spend in Harrisonburg.

  If you need a rule of thumb for your spending money, try this: budget between $10 and $15 a day , or between $75 and $100 per week. The fall semester in Antwerp experience will last for 15 weeks and the spring semester will last for 16 weeks, which includes a week off for spring break.
