Erasmus+ exchanges are tuiton free and includes insurance for the full stay. Students are responsible for their travel, room, board, books, and personal expenses.
Exchange studies outside of Europe are often more costly, as it may require language tests such as TOEFL, visa, vaccination, and insurance costs. For studies in the USA, applicants have to show ahead that they can finance their semester to qualify for a visa, often by submitting bank statements showing funds of approximately 7500 USD. Exchange students do not pay tuition fees, but are responsible for travel, room, board, books, visa costs and other personal expenses that may be required. Insurance is included, but it is common that North American partners require that exchange students purchase the university-insurance.
