I had a few questions on how to pay for things before I spent a whole semester traveling around Asia with ILP — would cash be best? What about my credit card? Anything else I should know? Sit tight, because all of those questions (and more) are answered below.

                            I probably spent a couple of hundred dollars on ATM fees while traveling until switching my card.

                            College is spendy right? Yep, it is. The government is pretty motivated to have you be educated, enough that the U.S. Department of Education budgets to help give financial aid to around 15 million students each year. Are you going to be one of them?
