Wheeler said. The cost of the pro- gram is comparable with the money that out-of-state students pay to attend the University. The programs of other colleges have "package costs" amounting to not more than $2,300. 'U' Students Study Abroad "About 12 to 15 University stu- dents attend foreign schools each year," Wheeler said. For the first time he has entered the names of students who have come to him for advice and who intend to spend their junior year abroad. He has a list of about 67 students who have spoken to him this year.
