"I'm Doomed..." - Strongsad
Dear Ballarat applicants,
Thank you for your interest in this study abroad program. I am writing with
some very important information regarding the cost of this program.
Unfortunately, due to a very unfavorable exchange rate between the U.S. dollar
and the Australian dollar, the cost of the program will need to be increased by
$2, 140. This brings the total costs paid to OSU to approximately $7, 142.
(Your summer quarter 2004 Statement of Account would bill you for your full-time
OSU tuition/fees (approx. $1,997) + $5, 145 Study Abroad Program Fee.
Please bear in mind that these costs cover your tuition and housing only at
Ballarat. There are other additional expenses for which you will be
responsible. These additional costs include airfare, the Australian student
visa ($272), food, in-country transportation, books/supplies, etc.
We realize that this increase could affect your willingness to partipate in
this program. Please notify me if you would like to keep your application
under consideration, or if you would prefer to have it withdrawn from
consideration by Thursday, February 26.
Additionally, Ballarat has recently informed us that they are only able to take
three students this year, due to their unusually large number of students this
year. Since we had more than three students apply, we will develop a wait list
for the program.
Thank you very much for your understanding with these matters. Please do not
hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Best regards,
Jeannie
