    Trip to China for a friend... $6k 16 days...


    http://educationabroad.fiu.edu/docs/...ed94484af6.pdf

    We think total price will be around $6k without the University credit fees that she has to pay regardless if she takes this elective/china trip or a regular class at the University.

    I think its a bit expensive but then again the quality of the tours/information should be bar none...

    It's 10 students.

    I loved China. The trick, though, is to somehow

    mix the "group tour" vibe with spending time around the Chinese. The people are the best part.

    $450 a day not including tuition?

    In addition to cost I think this person would probably want to consider:

    What credits they need to graduate, their interest in the class/traveling to China, alternatives to gain the same credit, their schedule, etc..

    Had good taste via a nice Cannondale he rode. We went on couple bike rides and I had to push him later into the ride so I could at least get decent workout lol. Funny dude and overall good guy.
