  1. HOW to Save Money while Studying Abroad

  2. How to Save Money while Studying Abroad • Obviously, studying abroad isn’t inexpensive. It’s more than just the unfortunate exchange rates. The truth is that while living in any major city or foreign country, people tend to spend more than their native land. Fortunately, not every study abroad experience has to break the bank.

  3. How to Save Money while Studying Abroad

  4. START PLANNING EARLY • As soon as you’ve decided to study abroad, start planning for it. Look for different ways to make extra money and save more money, maybe a part-time job on weekends and making coffee at home instead of buying it before class will save a lot. • Additionally, start comparing places you are planning to study abroad. The cost of living in different countries do vary, so if you have the flexibility, it’s worth to consider going to an affordable place.

  5. SCHOLARSHIPS • There are a plethora of scholarships out there for international students. Ask your overseas advisor, compare opportunities offered by different intuitions, or just do a simple Google search.

  6. STUDENT DISCOUNTS • There are a plethora of scholarships out there for international students. Ask your overseas advisor, compare opportunities offered by different intuitions, or just do a simple Google search.

  7. SCHOLARSHIPS • Once you’re abroad, always ask for student discounts. Many outlets, departmental stores, and museums offer special discounts, particularly if you have an ISIC card (International Student Identity Card). Check whether ISIC card is acceptable in the country where you are planning to study.

  8. Shop at the grocery store or local markets • Shop at a local grocery store and pick up snacks and things to prepare for lunch and dinner. If you’re not selective, it’s a super easy way to save money!

  9. PLANS THINGS IN GROUPS • In addition to student discounts, there are often group discounts, if you’re travelling with friends, generally for excursions and entrance fees to museums.

  10. Try alternate forms of transportation • Always opt to walk or take the bus or metro around the city you’re staying in, as taxis tend to get expensive. If you’re planning to go on a trip, do online research. Compare the price of flying with a budget airline, taking a train, an overnight bus, or using a rideshare service.

  11. ACCOMMODATIONS • While travelling abroad, book your accommodation well in advance and compare the rates online. Airbnb and Hostels are two great websites. Hostels often provide discounts on things like tours and pubs. Sharing an Airbnb with friends will often give you more privacy. Remember to check locations before booking.

  12. OPT FOR ANYTHING FREE • Free things are more common than you think. Many museums, monuments and public places have free days, take free walking tours (but don’t forget to tip!), explore parks and landmarks that don’t charge an entrance fee.
