Studying abroad!

    I recently posted this in the college forum, but thought I would post here also, since AH always seems to have a lot more people!

    It's been awhile since I have been on this site, lol!
    I do have a few questions though! I looked at Arcadia studying abroad prices...and OMG, I can def get the money through loans and such, but I was wondering if there is a cheaper program I can go through?
    Also, can I go through one of these programs but not do their housing price and find my own place to stay! For one year without housing, would probably be 20,000 *has a mortified face* but I know this is worth it.
    This is where, hopefully, I can utilize this board and help to find someone to stay with, with a female by the way!
    I currently go to college for pre-nursing, but I am changing to Arts and Social Sciences, with a Minor in International studies!
    Any information would be wonderful

    I'm no expert but apply to the colleges directly

    have a look at UCD - http://www.educationireland.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=284&Itemid=100341

    Arts & Humanities - €9,100 - €15,500



    Apply for a student Visa too -


    If you transfer you'd probably have to start in first year again though.
