An Education In Pricing For U.S. College Students Studying Abroad

As a student at Wheaton College, Jennifer Bombasaro-Brady spent a semester studying in South Africa. Although away from the Wheaton campus, Ms. Bombasaro-Brady was still required to pay full tuition, room and board, despite the fact that the program she attended, without all the amenities provided at Wheaton, cost less. Accusing Wheaton of engaging in deceptive practice, the Bombasaro-Brady family has filed suit in Massachusetts state court. Meanwhile, the relationship between universities and study-abroad programs have already come under the scrutiny of the attorney generals of New York and Connecticut.
