Is studying abroad worth it?

I think it's great to get some intense, longish term international experience, but how you do it is up to you. You could do a formal study abroad program, but if that's not quite what you're looking for, you can do BUNAC just after you graduate. That's a program where students from certain countries can obtain short-term work visas for certain other countries. You get the visa through BUNAC, and then you're free to go over to that country, get a job (usually waitstaff, shop assistant, or what have you - not professional level), and work there for up to 9 months. You can extend the visa if you want to stay afterwards and travel. Or if study abroad is what you want, you can consider doing a summer course, or a semester course, rather than a full year, to save money. You can also do the program directly with a foreign university (if it's offered in that way), rather than going through a US university, and that can save considerable money. For example, Charles University, in Prague, offers Czech language and culture programs directly via their university, and those tend to be a lot cheaper than a similar program organised via, say, New York University.

Depends on what you want to get out of it. If you just want to see the sites, then yes, it's better to travel alone. If you want to be immersed in the culture then it's better to live in the country you have an interest in, obviously. Seriously, if you have to ask, you're probably more interested in just seeing the sites and taking some pictures. Less trouble for everyone (host family, yourself, your family) to just go on vacation.

It depends what you're studying. If you're trying to improve your language skill then it's definitely worth living in the country. Your questions a bit obtuse put up more info please

Yes, the price is worth it. Living abroad and being a tourist are very different. If you want to grow and expand your understanding of life and people live abroad for a year or so. If you want pictures and to say I've been there go be a tourist.

I would study abroad (and will). Many universities have relationships with facilities overseas and the tuition is as if you are an in-state student. Of course you pay for housing, plane tickets, etc., but if you had to pay for an apartment in the US while paying for a hotel overseas you'd have more sunk costs than just paying for housing overseas. I am doing a program in a small town in Italy about 20 miles from Rome. My university actually operates it, so I get a full academic minor in one semester and I will know some people and we have over 20 field trips all over the country, weekends off to travel all of Europe, as well as a full week off (2 weeks during non-summer semesters). Also, the classes are held in a PALACE, and by the time I get there we will be able to stay in the palace. You can't beat that experience for just a couple thousand dollars more than studying here in the US.

Well, I don't recommend you to study at the university of Ljubljana. . . it's very cheap, acctually free. . . but it's rubbish and professors are totally rude. . .
