关于intersession，今年我们fulltime的好几个学生是去的香港，修的课程是global supplychain。
对于大家比较关心的费用问题，我把自己了解到的信息分享给大家：Study abroad都是可以单独申请奖学金的 一般都是几百刀
具体的费用根据不同的学习地点会有不同，比如我一个同学是去阿根廷做practicum，我们普通的课程都是1310刀一个学分，但是那边的是1000刀不到一个学分，就能省出几百刀，再加上申请到的奖学金，基本能cover掉机票和那边住宿的费用了。相当于花相同的费用，修了学分，去了不同的国家，还能在简历上写上一笔。
话说回来，南美算是比较便宜的地方了，像我同学去香港的，住宿机票什么的可能就会比南美贵一些。具体选择哪个地方做项目或者修学分，大家可以根据自己的具体情况选择。
