Direct Costs (Appearing on your Emory OPUS Bill):
The "Direct Cost Subtotal" above lists the charges that are billed through Emory OPUS system and will appear on the Emory OPUS bill.
Emory Tuition:
Since the students who are participating in the program will be fully enrolled at Emory and receive Emory credit, they will be charged regular Emory tuition for participation in the program. The tuition bill will come from Emory's Office of Student Financial Services during the normal billing cycle for the semester.
Indirect Costs (Estimated Additional Expenses):
The "non-billable subtotal" above lists the additional estimated expenses. All costs are subject to change.
The following items are only estimates of additional expenses. These additional expenses could vary greatly depending on the individual student's spending habits, restaurant choices, personal shopping and additional travel plans.
- Airfare: This is an estimated average cost for a round-trip flight from Atlanta to London. You will need to arrange and pay for your own air travel, departing from Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Airport for London. Your return flight from London can be to the city of your choice.
- Books and/or Supplies: This is an estimated cost for academic materials for the semester.
- Personal Expenses: This is an estimated amount for incidental or miscellaneous costs associated with daily life in London. This does not include personal travel and will vary based on your individual spending habits.
- Local Transportation: IES Abroad will provide each student with a local debit card pre-loaded in monthly increments, totaling £150 for the program duration. An additional £45 will be provided upon arrival for initial transportation costs, including the purchase of a Student Oyster Card. It is your responsibility to manage these funds for your monthly transportation needs.
- Meals: This estimate is based on the cost of preparing meals in your program-provided residence facilities and for potential additional costs if you choose to dine out frequently or purchase additional groceries. Please note that Oxford will ensure the pantry is stocked with essential food items and cleaning supplies.
Important Note on Cost of Living:
Please be aware that the cost of living in the United Kingdom is currently higher than in the United States due to the exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar. We encourage you to factor this into your budget.
