Your year abroad

There are additional costs associated with spending a year abroad, including travel to/from your host country, food and housing, global insurance, and your application fee. Local costs such as food and housing vary by country. Most are comparable to NAU costs and some are substantially less. You can find estimated cost of living for each city by selecting a country and school you’re interested in on our International Allies page.
