Additional Estimated Expenses

We would like to make note of the fact that ISA provides the following list of estimated expenses as a guide. As each student and program is different, so are the expenses.

The ISA program cost includes items such as tuition and fees, one month of housing in the host city, insurance, and more. Please see specific program descriptions for details.

Books & Supplies

We estimate that students should expect to spend the following amounts on books and course materials:

Semester/Trimester	$250-300
Year	$350-500

Miscellaneous

For each program we anticipate that students may expect to spend $100 per week for incidentals such as toiletries, snacks bought outside the home, taxi and bus fares and other miscellaneous items. ISA site-specific materials for students may differ from this amount, but this is an estimated amount for budgeting/financial aid purposes.

Food

The cost of food will vary according to location and eating habits. If you are living with a host family, this price will most likely be factored into your monthly rent. If you are covering food on your own, you could determine your food cost by converting the amount you spend in the US into euros. For example, if you typically spend $250 a month on food, you could convert that into euros to estimate how much you will need for this expense.

Airfare

Flights are not included in any ISA program cost. The estimated cost for airfare from the US to each of our arrival cities is listed below.

Madrid, Spain	$1000
Barcelona, Spain	$1000
