LIVING AND STUDY EXPENSES IN USA.
US Universities fall under two major categories: public (state supported), and private (independent) institutions. International students’ tuition expenses at state schools are based on nonresident costs, which are still usually less expensive than those of private universities. It’s important to note that the cost of a program in a US school does not necessarily affect its quality. A brief idea can be got from the following table
Private Institutions (High Cost) |
$ 25,000 |
Private Institutions (Low Cost) |
$ 15,000 |
State Institutions (High Cost) |
$ 20,000 |
State Institutions (Low Cost) |
$ 10,000 |
Living Expenses
About $1000 per month is a good estimation. Most people can survive with $700-$1000 a month. The key here is to share apartments/houses so that you save on the utilities, fixed charge portion of phone and to some extent on groceries.
Working in the USA
In general there are two types of employment: on-campus and off-campus employment. However students are permitted to work for 20 hours a week during course time and full time during vacation period.
