Personal comments
Many of the students on study abroad were fairly wealthy so i guess if you got the cash it's all good. My spending cash was limited throughout the trip. By the end of the trip i was pretty much completely dependent on my credit cards. I probably could have skimped by, but i was already there so i wanted to just enjoy myself.
