Kim Holland explains why stipends matter for CUNY students abroad
Holland says semester abroad may be affordable for private residential students because expenses transfer overseas. For CUNY students, however, they lose family housing, meals, and jobs that help with household expenses, so stipends would be an important resource.
So I think two answers for that.
Just a basic answer first.
You're absolutely right that the semester abroad,
It might be very affordable for a student at a private residential institution because a lot of their expenses simply transfer to overseas, right?
And often their host city is much cheaper than New York City.
For CUNY students, they no longer can live with their parents or other family members.
They're no longer eating with the family.
And they also have to sacrifice that job that they are using to pitch into household expenses.
So, yes, stipends would be a very important resource for those students.
