Let Us Help You String Together Your Study Abroad Adventure...

Elizabeth's Top Tips For Cutting The Costs of Studying Abroad:

Check out the online options for booking your travel:  If you do happen to come across a good deal, wait before purchasing and research the destination for even better deals! 
Megabus.com offers great value tickets to travel between the United States. 
AirBnB.com is another site if you are looking for a place to rest your weary heads.
Always have your student discount ID card ready, so as not to miss out on any juicey discounts. Transportation companies are especially known for their generous student discounts. 
Have you ever found a flight online, hesitated before purchasing it and then gone back a few hours later to find that the price has gone up? Well, this is because the airline companies can tell which ip address you are searching from, which means that on your second visit, they recognise who you are and increase the price. If you do go back to buy the flight, make sure you do it on a friends laptop, so that you can book your flight at the original price!
Plan your travel around a local event:  Try staying within the state and finding a local event, it gives you the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and you most likely  you will find discounts on travel and hotels because of the event. Look for lists of hostels and campgrounds that support events, this could also bring great discounts. 
It does not matter how you chose to travel during your study abroad experience, all that matters, is that you do experience studying abroad!  One of the greatest experiences you will have when studying abroad is travelling around your host country.  As for the United States, from sea to shining sea, every state has it's own unique charm.  You could spend the rest of your life exploring the United States and only experience half the beauty.  So it’s not too late to start your travels, New Years is almost here and new beginnings are in the air...
