My data points are from 20 years ago, but I want to say the two trips I did in b school, to Eastern Europe one year and Asia the next year, added about $3000-3500 to my tuition bill for that semester, which I covered using scholarships and student loans at the time. Well worth it when interest rates on student loans could be locked in for 2-3%

Like spring break with some of your classmates or an international trip as part of the program?

If the former, I probably spent $2k (10 years ago) on a trip to Mexico (mxdc and tulum) after I had an offer in hand.

That said that same trip is easily $5k now if not more due to the cost of the hotel in tulum sky rocketing.
