Cost of the trip
Our aim is to make this trip as affordable for students as possible. This year’s trip to Seville (March 2003) was $1095 per person based on double occupancy. The price included roundtrip airfare on AirFrance from Washington Dulles to Seville, 6 nights at a centrally located three star hotel in Seville, one night in Paris, and buffet breakfast daily. Thanks to the generous support of various committees from the Penn State York Campus, specifically the Student Activity Fee Committee, and the Honors Program, Penn State York students receive financial support in the range of $200 to $400. This is such a great opportunity for an educational trip of a lifetime! There is no extra tuition cost for full-time students. We plan on continuing to make this study abroad experience affordable so that most of our students can get a taste of another country, its language and culture, albeit for a short period. Hopefully, students will gain confidence and may decide at a later date to go on one of Penn State’s many semester abroad programs. Travel arrangements for our trips are handled by an insured travel agency:
Celestial Voyagers.

Students get prepared before the trip reading book chapters, articles, watching videos and gathering information for their research paper. During the trip they keep a journal, visit assigned educational sites which we all go on as a group, and get first-hand information for their topic. This research paper is handed in at the end of Spring semester.
