Costs

For a year abroad, you can expect to pay:

• Trent University tuition and ancillary fees
  Department Year Abroad students only pay tuition, and a program fee instead of ancillary fees. Formal exchange students pay both full-time tuition and ancillary fees regardless of whether the student takes a part-time or full-time course load abroad.
   
• Residence or accommodation fees 
  If you choose to stay in residence you will pay housing fees to either Trent or your host university, depending on the agreement with the school.
   
• Cost of extra food
  Residences often include a meal plan. However, depending on the frequency of a host's plan, you may require additional meals or snacks.
   
• Airfare 
  The cost of a plane ticket varies by date and destination, but you can generally expect to pay at least $500 for a one-way flight.
   
• Medical and travel insurance 
  Approximately $500 - $800 for a year's coverage.
   
• Passport and immigration fees
  Approximately $100 - $500, depending on the country.
   
• Between-semester expenses 
  Some residences are closed during breaks between semesters, or charge extra for staying during that time.
   
• Miscellaneous 
  Local transportation, holiday and travel, pocket money, incidentals.

Note: Exchange students also pay a fee of $250 after they've been accepted. Department Year Abroad students have an additional program fee (the amount varies between departments.)
