It's different when you're outside the US, though. A lot of magazines don't seem to cater to customers outside the US, which seems crazy to me, especially in the age of Kindle et al.

I tend to read a lot and it always bugs me to find out that magazines charge about 200-300% on top just for shipping it to EU countries. Also, there is nearly always no digital alternative - no WSJ on the Kindle in Europe, no Barrons in the EU, no digital student rebate for Foreign Affairs, huge shipping costs for Foreign Policy, Reason Magazine etc.

That's a really good point - the student subscription route does not work internationally. I don't really know if there is any way around that.

One thing I'll note is that often, if you subscribe to WSJ or Foreign Affairs they also throw in a online log in. Presumably, if your billing information is accepted you could have the print subscriptions mailed somewhere random while you use the online login information. But I've never tried it myself.
