International Students: Explore a Sample College Budget U.S. News data can help students get a sense of how much they’ll have to pay

Apart from the huge amounts of tuition that overseas student’s pay there are many other expenses that come along with studding in the US.

From textbook's to living expenses and travelling all can be quite heavy in the pocket. Thus, it is a good idea that students create a budget before they start their college search.

Factors such as educational costs, personal expenses, living expenses and travel expenses should all be taken into consideration.

Alfred Boll, EducationUSA branch chief at the US Department of state says, "For example, if a student is addicted to Netflix and wants to have that, they need to build that into a budget."

Students should also keep some amount aside for unforeseen costs. Students can take assistance from the Education USA advice that is located all over the world while making their budgets.

Judith Brooke, director of international student and scholar services says another way is to reach out to former or present international students. She said, “That would be the best resource ever, to speak directly to somebody who’s been through it, who’s lived here as a student and is aware of all the ins and outs."

Students can also consider financial packages offered at many universities. They can also get on campus part-time jobs to earn a little money.
