    heya,
    im just back from erasmus in germany(although i didnt go to your college!)

    Id highly rate the year,i think there was a thread on the ucd page...or maybe far back in this page all about it!

    go into the year prepared to meet lots of new people and have a ball!

    regarding money-it realy depends on where you are and how much traveling you plan on doing!
    i probably spent 11-12 grand between rent and traveling alot and skiing and snowboarding-i didnt over do things,but at the same time i didnt do it on the cheap! most people are entitled to a grant for approx 1,400 too which is good!

    enjoy it and ask me if you have any more questions!

    I did the BComm III year abroad at Babson College. It was definitely worth it but cost a bit, around $10,000. I would definitely recommend taking the year abroad if you don't mind missing the work placement. You can still get a 3 month internship if you feel you need it. Babson is probably one of the more difficult colleges in terms of college work load. If you are looking for somewhere less intense take a look at Pace University in New York. Have a look around on the net to give you an idea of which college you'd like.

    $10000 sounds kinda cheap. I got a letter from babson and they had an estimated cost of like $20000 for the year,which is way too expensive in my opinion over there. How'd you manage to stay around the $10000?
    The work load doesnt bother me too much,its just somethn i'll have to get used to.
    Whats the social scene like over there??

    sorry for the late reply,been incredibly busy the last few months!
