How much is the People to People Student Ambassador Program?
On average, I mean. I've been nominated to go to England, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland for 20 days from the US. Also, is it worth it? If you've been on this program, some knowledge would be great. THANKS.

It depends on what program you decide to choose. I was "invited" to one of their meetings, and found out there that the cost was $6,000 for 19 days. It was a little bit too steep for me, but they do offer ideas for fundraisers and scholarships. The scholarships are only for $1000, though.

How much is the cost of living in Utrecht for a grad student?
How much is the cost of living in Utrecht for a grad student?
I am planning to pursue my master degree in Utrecht, the Netherlands, starting in September this year. I wanna know how much does it cost for monthly spending in Utrecht, which includes at the very least, accommodation, food, transportation, etc? In addition, I am not a EEA citizen. Can I have part time job that is decent to help out with the cost of living, and what are the options? Thank you.

It depends, There are certain organizations who can help you to find a (temporary) accomodation anywhere between 200ish and 400ish euro. Appartment will cost you more, about 500-1000 euro a month. Cost of living depends on your lifestyle. Cost of transportation depends on how far you travel. All together if you don`t spend to much on partying, you should be able to make it on a 500-800 euro a month budget. Part time jobs are to be found mostly in cafe`s, restaurants, working at events, call centers, etc. You can get around 10euro an hour for a part time student job (somethimes little more, sometimes little less)

Well, it's not a fake. But it has changed drastically since it's inception. Now there is little left of the educational part and it's much more an over priced tourist trip. Trip costs can easily reach $6,000+++. Your letter is one of thousands that are sent out each year by this organization, so while it makes you SOUND special, it's really not. The money you would spend for a 3 week trip could finance a good portion of an ENTIRE YEAR exchange with an organization such as YFU, AFS or Rotary. You'd also have all the benefits that go along with such an exchange such as cultural and language immersion.

NO, it is not a scam! lol. i went on a trip last year with people to people to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. it was the best time of my life! i met sooo many amazing kids and learned sooo much! it's not like school or anything, you pretty much go to a bunch of places and learn. you may have a silly little quiz every now and then; but you can't fail. they also give you a high school credit once you have completed the program. also, you were sent that letter because you were either nominated by a teacher or a student in your school that has been on a trip with them the previous year. yes...it is expensive. most europe (they have ones that go to asia and australia) trips range from $6,000-$8,000. although, you can pay by month (about $900 per month) or choose any other type of billing plan that you want. people to people also offers fundrasing programs. i know a girl that was in my group who raised every single cent for her trip! also, EVERYTHING is included in the price. hotels, 3 meals a day, attractions, transportation, airline tickets, etc are all included. Misc. Info: -most trips last about 20 days. -you go with a "delegation" which is made up of about 40 kids from your area as well as 4 "leaders" who are teachers from your area. -you have a homestay...where you live with a family in the country that you are visiting for 2 or 3 days. -you have to go through a process in order to be accepted (3 letters of reccomendation and an interview) although, they accept most kids -you have monthly meetings with your delegation before you leave to get to meet the kids and leaders -IT WILL BE THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFEEEE! have fun. and good luck :]

At this trade school what do they learn? If they literally learned a trade like how to become a blacksmith then yes you are a first generation college student, if they learned engineering then no you are not a first generation college student. My mother never went to college, but my dad went to a polytechnic college in England for engineering so I am not a first generation college student just because I'm the first in my family to go to college in America. If your dad went to business school then you aren't a first generation college student.
