How much shall I expect to spend on the program (water, food, taxi, etc.)?
Many expenses are already included in your program fees, but you will need to budget separately for some expenses like optional trips, personal costs, telephone calls, etc. The amount of money you will spend overseas depends on your spending and saving habits, the country you are going to, and the current exchange rate for the U.S. dollar.

It depends on the destination of your study abroad programs, and sometimes it is also influenced by the length of your program. But, no worries, APA provides visa and passport services. We will provide more details once you are enrolled in the program.

What shall I pack?
Pack light! One checked bag and one carry-on is sufficient. Please check your airline’s website before travel for up-to-date information regarding your luggage weight and size limits. Here are a few common tips:
– Comfortable clothes and walking shoes are a must
– Be sure to bring rain gear and to dress in layers in case of the temperature changes throughout the day
