England Personal Cost Estimates, Spring 2012

**=The program fee for St. Edmund Hall includes 38 dinners per term. St. Edmund students can plan for smaller out-of-pocket meal costs.

These figures are designed to assist students with financial planning but are only estimates based on past students' experiences at an exchange rate of $1.56 to 1 GBP. They do not include any entertainment or vacation travel costs. If the student is accepted into a catered residential college providing full board, substitute the meal plan fee (detailed in the Supplemental Charges section) for the meal cost estimate above.

The above numbers are general estimates of expenses during a program abroad. We recommend taking into account your current spending habits, the cost of living in your host country and the current exchange rate. Your IFSA-Butler program advisor can be helpful as you attempt to work on a personal budget for your experience abroad.

Commuting cost estimates are for transportation between housing and university. Transportation for personal or recreational purposes is not included in the above estimates.

A PBS Tier 4 visa is required for any student who plans to study in the United Kingdom for more than six months or who plans to pursue internships, volunteer work or paid employment. There is no fee for the student visitor visa for the United Kingdom.

† Personal Miscellaneous estimates cover general expenses of college life, including laundry, course supplies, photocopying, toiletries, snacks, personal care, etc.

All costs are in U.S. dollars.
