Please be aware of fluctuations in the dollar-euro exchange rate.
Section "A" above are charges paid directly to the Miami Bursar for the semester(s) you attend the Luxembourg Campus.
Some figures above are estimates and are subject to change.
Please visit www.miami.muohio.edu/admission/finaid/study-abroad/index.html if you have any questions concerning financial aid. Also, please
consult the Luxembourg Scholarships and Financial Aid Info on your Application Home page.
∞ Because tuition and fees have not been set by the Board of Trustees for 2012-13, we are using 2011-2012 costs. Tuition is set around mid-to late June each year for the
upcoming academic year.
* If field tour costs are less than estimated, the difference is credited to the student’s account. If costs run over, an additional charge is accrued at the end of the semester.
** Full-year students need only attend the Luxembourg-based integration program in the first semester, so are only charged once.
*** Not billed through Bursar, student will purchase on their own prior to departure.
ŧ Misc. living expenses and travel for full year students: Students that attend the full year tend to spend less money overall on miscellaneous living and traveling costs.
¥ While traveling is important, academics should be your number one priority. Attendance is required and exams are given in each course.
θ Amounts are based on one week break with potentially two weeks for each semester. Increase the amount accordingly if your semester includes additional vacation days.
£ You must provide proof of health and accident insurance. If you are not covered by another policy, you must buy the university-sponsored coverage. Please
note the health insurance is paid in full the first semester for the academic year.
€ The Jumbo Pass can be used for train and bus travel anywhere in the country of Luxembourg and is good for one year.
∆ The local travel agency, AAA Travel Unlimited, organizes an optional group flight that may fly into Brussels, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, or Paris. For the exact cost, contact their
office (513-523-7555). Add any expense you incur getting to the US airport. If you wish to take the group flight, add the cost to get to its departure point. The cost of the
charter bus from the airport to Lux ($100 round trip) is not included in the group airfare cost. The charter bus is also available to students not on the optional group flight
through Travel Unlimited.
Ω Students tend to travel at a cheaper rate than the normal tourist. These figures depend on the exchange rate and personal spending habits which can vary greatly.
Students typically spend between $3,000-$7,000 in additional travel and personal expenses. Those students who travel the traditional student way, (youth hostels, practical
meal choices, few souvenirs) will have a low budget. Figure around 150 Euros per weekend (50 Euro for 2 nights in a youth hostel + meals + museums). Full-year students
tend to space out their travel and spend less per semester.
