All tuition will be paid to your home institution. You will not pay any tuition to Indiana University. However, you may be required to pay the mandatory IU student services fee which goes towards providing all students access to public transportation, the health center, workout facilities, etc.
The O’Neill International Office is happy to assist you with locating affordable housing either on or off campus once you have been accepted to the exchange program.
All international students are required to have health insurance during their entire stay in the United States. IU offers a plan that international students are automatically enrolled in. If you have your own plan, you may apply for a waiver. We suggest you consult the Office of International Services for the more up-to-date details.
These estimates do not include trips during the semester, going out, or out of pocket activities which vary from person to person. Know that unlike many European countries, the United States government does not subsidize education or amenities.
