This might be an odd thing to propose, but I don't think 10k (usd) is worth spending 2 weeks in Europe.
The school covers most of the students through fundraising efforts, but if I had to go, it would be 100% out of pocket of course.
I'm wondering If I could take hostels or whatever instead so I could still be there but not spend 10k. Id bet they're going to spend most of their time in publicly accessible places for most of the trip so I can just tag along if I wanted to.
I've also been on one of these trips before in the US when I was a minor (for much less though), so I already have an Idea of how much they rush you to see as much shit as possible in the few days when you're in a certain city.

Its supposed to take place during June an July, when students/faculty get a 2 month vacation between school years.

This was my biggest concern. but I know Europe has excellent rail. They're going to be in 7 countries, traveling East to West. Starting in Prague or Vienna, then ending in either France or Belgium I believe.

They stay at pretty nice hotels/reserve tables at restaurants in advance for the tourist group. That's why Im considering the hostel route instead, save a ton on room and board.

>$10k for two weeks
Lmfao what
This is not only one of those godawful rushed eurotrips Americans seem to love, it's also RIDICULOUSLY overpriced.
There's a heavy news mag here I like to read from time to time and it always has an ad for an upscale travel agency targeting the bourgeoisie. I always read through it carefully to laugh at the outrageously insane prices. They're still cheaper than the trip your sister is going on.
