  University of Dreams does cost "a bit" but as you mentioned, so does a good college, or a semester travelling abroad provided from the university. But this option does not only give the students a nice job, it gives the student a large group of motivate peers to add to their network, acclaimed guest speakers they can ask for advice, and all expense-paid excursions to sites and entertainment in the city that other programs don't include but are usually paid for anyways, such as city tours. The experience gained is well worth the money. But if money is a problem, there are payment plans and a few scholoarships are awared by University of Dreams every year to the most motivated dreamers.
  
  I participated in the London program even though the money was a big issue for me. (I was working two jobs during a semester to pay bills.) The next summer I enjoyed it so much I worked as a paid summer staffer in their San Fransisco program. I am now a Peace Corps volunteer and I still apply the things I learned then to the work I do now. I still talk to participants and staff from both years.
