[Print-friendly version]

Studying in another country can involve great expense not only with university fees but also your living costs. For some students this may be the first time that they'll be responsible for paying the rent, bills, shopping for groceries, and all the while keeping up with your studies.

Unfortunately that is not always easy because all the systems are different to what you've been used to and you may need to learn new budgeting skills. Therefore students need to be able to handle their money wisely and always try to be prepared for the unexpected.

If you are finding it hard to budget or are always running out of money, contact an International Student Adviser who can give you financial advice and can also provide you with a loan during an emergency. The ISS Adviser can help you with any money matters and most importantly with working out a budget and stick to it. All discussions are kept confidential.
