Exchange Costs Estimates
Inbound Exchange Estimated Costs Per Semester 2007-2008
Tuition and fees (included in the exchange) $0
Advisory: Exchange students taking more than the maximum credits allowed have to pay the difference for additional credit cost. Also, special course fees (such as for Physical Education courses) are borne by the exchange student. Undergraduates are limited to 18 credits, and graduates to 9 credits (11 for ISEP) while on exchange.
Housing on-campus single room apartment per semester $1400 to $1940
Advisory: For ISEP and other exchanges with a housing benefit provided, NMSU covers the cost of a single room in Vista Del Monte Apartments which cost about $350 per month. Students who choose other more expensive accommodations on campus will pay the extra cost above the $350 per month rate. Shared accommodations may be available at lower cost. Off campus housing rents vary. ISEP students may take the $350 rate and apply it to off-campus housing.
Full Meal Plan on-campus (does not include holidays) $1222
Advisory: For ISEP and other exchanges with a meal benefit provided, NMSU covers the cost of the full meal plan (or provides the same amount as a stipend). Students are also provided an allowance for days the cafeteria service is not available.
Books and educational supplies $250-500
Health Insurance (if required to take NMSU international student policy) $40 per month
Miscellaneous personal expenses $1000-1500
Students on exchange who have to pay for housing and meals need to submit proof of financial ability with the non-degree exchange application. This proof can be a bank statement showing availability per semester of $1,000 (for ISEP or other exchanges in which housing and meals is provided by NMSU), or $4,600 (for all bilateral exchanges in which tuition only is paid by NMSU) or a letter from a parent or guardian guaranteeing financial responsibility.
Disclaimer: These are estimated costs and actual costs may be higher or lower depending on life style of the student. University rates quoted are subject to change.
