6. Nuts and bolts The cost is approximately $3,500, depending on the number of students who participate in the program (more students, lower cost), and also on airfare costs. The sooner you commit, the lower the airfare can be. Deadline for $130 non-refundable deposit plus SRU study abroad application is February 15 th. The application fee also covers the cost of your international student ID (low cost or free entry to museums and some social events).
