Should i go on exchange?
I have the oppertunity to go on exchange for 11 days in europe in dec
Pros:
- a subject i am REALLY interested and is highly relevant to the specific country i am going to
-everyone who i talk to ever says exchange will be an unforgettable, life changing oppertunity and this is my last chance for exchange
- i do not pay rent and save the vast majority of money i get from my casual job. I have enough in my savings to pay for the trip in at least quadruple
-uni automatically gives $600 if i commit to going
Cons:
- uni estmiated it roughly be 4.5k for 11 days, but that is based on last yr's prices and does not take into account price increases due to current geopolitical climate (gas and also it being europe and flying over middle east) . 4.5k is uni estimate and subject to change bc all flights, accom food etc are organised by the individual
- unlike other students, i will not be taking advatage of being in europe and paying high upfront ticket fees and travelling after getting there. Will most likely stay for at most 14days and coming home, so cost fees for little stay
Would you say the unforgettable experience is worth the cost? Wwyd
