Study Abroad Q&A: What Are My Biggest Costs While Studying Abroad

Many students have written asking how much study abroad will cost them while abroad. This video focuses on the cost of daily life abroad, I am not talking about your program fees or your university fees, I am speaking on cost of living while there. This is focused on US college students going to study abroad in Europe.

0:26 Is that really Wolter on the right in the
Wow, you look like you are auditioning for a 1990's Boy Band with that look you got going on there.
You have definitely changed in the last 20 years, no doubt!

I am from Malaysia, and now studying in Kursk, Russia. The words Mark said really hit me, and all the truth lies there.

Nice advise, and I really enjoy your videos, so informative!

Walter I usually don't comment but you truly made me want to travel. I used to watch your videos in middle school and some part of High school. I took French in class. Then I was so inspired by your videos, I decided to apply to study abroad program during the summer. Lucky for me I got full ride to STUDY IN TOULOUSE, FRANCE. I want to thank you so much. I am now getting ready to leave, and seeing your videos for tips. May I suggest a video idea so It can help before I go there? What culture shock are there? What foods to try? And I think you should go to TOULOUSE, France next. It's cheap since it's a students city but lots of architecture.

Thank you again!!

I studied abroad in Dresden, Germany for 9 months. I live in Vancouver, Canada so it was a lot cheaper for me. Rent in the dorms was 200 euro per month which is cheaper than here. Food and beer especially was cheaper. It depends where you come from I suppose but he is spot on as usual.

thank you very much! I plan on finishing my education of German in Germany :)

Hi Mark, off topic, but compared to the "audition and critique" video you did with your wife, your usual, casual video style would be very well suited for television presenting. You are already as good as, if not better than, many BBC presenters.

His name is "MARK"!!! Hence when he says, "Hey this is Mark from Wolter's World...etc..."

Hi, I really like your channel  . Could you do a  video  guide about Israel?

[adamhovey]

actually wanted to study abroad and I had a chance to study in France but I didn't have the money

[nunyafinbiz]

In Germany don't you get to travel for almost free? Now the guy I was listening to didn't make it clear on if it was only almost free within Germany or if you could go outside of Germany... I should say he said you pay like 200 bucks for the semester for travel and stuff

[DeepaK-xssm]

Very Informative!! Mark, Is there any age limit to pursue Masters in US?

[siramea]

Hi Wolters family, you ever feel exhausted from travelling? I feel like I need a few days to recover from holidays, and I usually only travel within Europe.

[werdebauingenieur]

How do you finance all the holidays etc.?
