Program Costs
Before arriving in Seville, you should budget your anticipated expenses for the entire semester. The budget should take into account spending on transportation, cell phone data, school materials, eating out, cultural and social activities, as well as independent travel.
The budget presented below is approximate and reflects basic expenses – based on previous student experiences – that you should account for in your financial planning. It does not include estimates for personal independent travel outside of Seville nor for social activities, as these expenses will vary widely by individual student.

"Ask all the questions about what is covered, set a budget for yourself and try to plan things as much ahead as possible. It's ok if you are the only person in your friend group that has to be money conscious, but don't feel peer pressured to say yes to things if you can't do it. Find friends that will want to have fun with you without you needing to spend a ton of money! There is also a lot of great things to do in Sevilla for free (a lot of tourist attractions will have discount or free days so pay attention to that!)."
“I recommend budgeting well right away by making a spreadsheet of your spending on trips. I was able to prepare for how much I was willing to spend by keeping myself organized. Make an effort to find affordable bars, clubs, restaurants. Walk/bike instead of taking an Uber/Cabify."
