Your analysis is even more widely relevant if we consider the costs in two parts: the cost of spending time as an unwaged intern (rent, food, local travel), and the costs of travel to the hub (flight, visa, passport). The former would apply equally to anyone living outside the hub, the second is considerably higher if you are as far away as Australia.
(I make the Oxford—Australia journey about once a year from my personal budget, spending about $AU 1800 each time to do so)
This is an interesting read, thank you!
