AFRICA

Africa offers a unique study abroad experience, rich in culture, natural beauty, and wildlife. Despite challenges like poverty and government corruption, the continent provides valuable academic opportunities, especially in anthropology, sociology, political science, and biology. Living costs vary—oil-rich nations like Angola and Nigeria are expensive, while most African countries are more affordable. South Africa, for example, costs about 75% less than the U.S. When traveling, be mindful of currency changes and ensure U.S. notes are dated after 2005 for secure exchanges.
