If you\u2019re looking to travel abroad and you\u2019re on a budget, Ms.<br>Nelson encourages students to look at countries where the cost of living is low. Furthermore, she<br>says that Thailand and Prague are great places to go at an affordable price. She also stresses that<br>travelling abroad is around the same price as Oxford tuition. To Oxford students, this is good<br>news, but to Regional students, this can be unjustifiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ms. Nelson says that there are many scholarships that students can apply for if they\u2019re seeking to<br>travel abroad. It is also worth noting that the scholarships a student might already have in place<br>will apply abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also says that the most popular places to go are Spain, Italy, Barcelona, London, and Rome.<br>Students do not have to be any specific major to travel abroad; any student of any major can<br>apply. Additionally, traveling abroad is a great way to learn a new language if one is interested in<br>doing so. However, learning a new language to travel abroad is certainly not required; there are<br>plenty of classes that are in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to travel abroad and are discouraged by finances, you can always meet with an<br>advisor and discuss your options.
