Lang added that rising costs have had little impact on the numbers of students involved with the program. Over the past five years the number of PSUC students participating in study abroad programs has increased by 76 percent.
"Costs has little affect as long as students plan accordingly. The key is preparation. Students also have the option of using their financial aid based in the program itself."
Scholarships and grants from sources such as the Gilman student Pell Grants or East Asia scholarships, could also ease costs by $3,000.
Cruz's journey at Capilano has yet to end, but she said memories of her home-stay family and taking the bus to school will remain in her mind long after her trip is over.
For Feldman, one season in France changed his outlook on the world.
"I am a more diversified person and am able to better understand the different perspective of people from different backgrounds," he said. "In addition, I realized how much I love living in the US."
His advice to students: "Do it! Do not hesitate and do not wait to go only if your friends do it. Go yourself and you will make plenty of friends along the way and you will most likely make a couple of friendships that will last a lifetime!"
