Students should consider their individual lifestyles and the types of experiences they'd like to have during their Maymester Program when planning their budget. Consider the following:
Will you eat at fancy restaurants often or do you prefer cheap and cheerful cafes?
Will you participate in nightlife frequently?
Do you plan to do a lot of travel in your host city or outside of it during your free time?
