I have studied abroad twice and they were some of the best things I have ever done! I was a Rotary Exchange Student to Germany right out of high school for a year and also spent a semester in Ireland my junior year of college. These were once in a lifetime opportunities and I don't regret them at all - and grew as a person (especially in a world understanding) because of them. I still keep somewhat in contact with friends in Germany and from the semester in Ireland - but am certain that I would have a place to stay if I were to be in their areas of their respective countries!
Yes, they can be expensive (and will usually go over budget) but there are also the intangibles (friends, experiences, etc) that truly are priceless.
