I wanted to study abroad when I was in undegrad and couldn't afford it, I opted to take courses at a French university instead. I highly recommend going that route for anyone college aged. I spent less money then I would have at my University in the US for the same time and it was a level of exposure (and frankly, discomfort, that I really grew from) that I don't think my more well off friends got from similar study abroad programs with mostly english speaking peers.
