I'm not studying but working abroad, and I fully agree with the future motherhood explanation. When the opportunity came up I knew that I only had a small window to do something like this before I'd have children. Plus, even going back to a professional career after having kids, it's harder for a woman to travel for business.

I'm sure there are several other factors involved, but I highly resent your "frugal" theory.
