There are various ways by which international students can budget and save money while studying abroad as you may feel overwhelmed by the of your international education, accommodations and various other expenses.
Make use of student discounts
There comes variety of student discounts through your student
card, ranging from attractions and retail promotions to meal discounts and
transportation. There may be that not all places advertise they accept student
cards, however they most likely do. Keep your student card with you wherever
you go. While making a purchase ask the employee whether they accept student
cards. It might be a a small amount initially but at the end it sums up to a
large amount. There may be even things that are free for students, in which case you could save
anywhere between $15 to $60.
There may be coffee shops and restaurants offering some type of
student deal in the vicinity, surrounding your host school. It may be on a certain
day of the week or everyday. Schools might include the cost of local transit in
tuition fees with transportation where there may the case that the can use
transit with their student cards. Others may not do this. There is still the
options for students where they may still purchase a discounted public transit
pass or student tickets.
Apart from your student ID, you may purchase additional discount cards that will offer an even deeper discount such as the SPC card. Such sort of loyalty card offers instant student savings of anywhere between 10-20% at thousands of stores and restaurants across Canada specifically.
Live with roommates
There may be a lot of money being costed in between rent, utilities and
food for a single apartment. You may be paying
anywhere between $800 to $1500+ not including the additional cost of utilities,
depending on the location you choose to study in and type of home you are
looking for. It’s best to live with other students to evenly split the cost of
additional expenses. You may check for a bedroom in a shared home through a
simple Google or Kijiji search when you don’t have friends to live in. As an
alternative, you may also use your host school’s Facebook group while looking
to connect with other students looking for roommates or a sublet.
Apart from saving money, there are a number of benefits that you may have while living with roommates.
You can have someone to explore new
locations and share discoveries with which is the best way to experience a new
city.
Be careful while considering the cost of certain items and
remember, tax is not included on price tags in North America. Be
familiar with the exchange rate, else you may be spending significantly more
than you plan to. The exchange rate might fluctuate a number of times during
your time abroad. It is vital to check it out in order to ensure that you are spending
your money wisely. There may be online portals providing this sort of
information and offering a currency converter calculator

furniture, frames, various supplies and used books amongst many other things.. Amazon and the host
school’s bookstore can also be used while looking to purchase furniture,
frames, various supplies and used books amongst many other things. You may also
