If you go on ERASMUS then you get given a major (and I mean major) grant for doing so, thats how I survived in Portugal for 5 months when I studied over there.
Unfortunately it only covers Europe. For USA/New Zealand/Australia you have to fund it yourself or find a sponsor. And as a minimun you have to also prove that you will have at least £3000 in your bank account to support you while over there depending how long you intend to spend there. (also you need to sort out visa and I think it's the J-11 form asap if you can go)
You also still get your student loan and grants if you are going for a term/2 terms.
If you go for the whole year you need to speak to your Loan agency, as sometimes they get really mean.
If you go for less than a year, you still have to pay for fees at your uni! Sucks I know.
