What Will It Cost
Tuition : $1000 for two credit hours, or $500 per credit. A program activity fee of $175 covers the welcome reception, tour of Budapest, and all course texts and materials. Due to the advance preparations and cost inherent in presenting a law program abroad, no refunds are possible after April 1, 2010. (Tuition is reduced to make international travel affordable for law students.)
Accommodations : Students may choose between the hotel recommended by the program or are welcome to make any housing arrangements. In downtown Budapest near the law school, the Hotel Erzsebet offers three-star accommodations for 45 Euros a day per person for a double and 36 Euros a day per person for a triple. Breakfast is included. This hotel is close to the law school and will serve as the center for many program activities. One student who stayed at this hotel last year recommended it as “convenient and comfortable, with American bathrooms and a nice breakfast, within walking distance to a cyber-cafe, grocery, and good neighborhood restaurants, two blocks from the main pedestrian mall and shopping district” (refer to website www.danubiusgroup.com/erzsebet). Keep in mind that prices will change with currency fluctuations.
Additional Expenses : Students should realistically estimate some expenses for souvenirs, entertainment not included in the program, and other incidentals. These expenses depend on individual budgets and desires.
