British youngsters wishing they could spend a year of their university or college career in a foreign country but are worried about student finance might be interested in the latest comments from ThirdYearAbroad.com.
The online resource noted that studying overseas need not mean you have to come home with debt.
Website founder Lizzie Fane noted that those planning a trip to a different nation should start saving as soon as possible.
"The summer before your [academic] year abroad is the perfect time to get a job in your year abroad destination," she said.
"You can earn money, discover your new city, develop your language skills and make friends and useful contacts before term starts in September, without the manic panic that other students face."
Ms Fane suggested that those planning such a venture start a "year abroad fund" as soon as they find out they are eligible to go.
In other news, Moneysupermarket.com has warned student finance customers to look beyond the initial incentives before choosing a student account.
