A friend of mine attended a camp called Seeds of Peace. They have scholarships for people who can't afford it. The camp works toward peace between Arabs and other nationalities around the world. People from all over the world attend this camp every year, some completely on scholarship. I'm sure there are other similar programs as well. If you can dream it, you can do it. I started to lose hope in study abroad as well because I am not very well off financially and government loans only go so far. But I found someone to co-sign an additional loan for me and will be living out my dream this fall. It can be done. I know this was posted 2 years ago, but this could help someone else now.

I am from Pakistan, and honestly speaking, all the OPPORTUNITIES being discussed here or all the grants and loans, these are mostly for Europeans or Americans for that matter. What we have is a handful of scholarships for which you have to be HIGHLY competitive and lucky! Its not all bear and skittles for people living in the developing countires to study abroad. the only major problem is COST!

If you have any desire to do it, go for it! It's the perfect time to see more of the world. Studying abroad was the best decision I made in college. If you have any desire to do it, go for it!

Plus, your hands-off university is helping you learn lots of good travel planning skills. @Jackson: I would hope schools are making it easier to study abroad and not more difficult, and it disappoints me to hear that that might not be the case... @ Jeff: Yes, the semester abroad will be totally worth it!

I've been planning for months now, without much assistance from my school at all. The only thing they've done is accept me for the program. It can be so tiring and stressful, but I'm sure the semester abroad will be worth it! Let me just say number one, Someone will plan the trip for you, is not always true.
