Studying overseas is a dream for many students. It is their wish and goal in life to be able to extend their studies overseas where more information is available and better resources are made available to them. However, this dream is not easily achievable due to the sheer costs of overseas studies.
A detailed breakdown of the expenses involved will frighten many aspiring students. Besides from having to fork out a large sum for tuition fees and textbooks, certain courses may require students to pay for experiments and use of special equipment. Certain courses may also ask that students attend seminars and conferences to expose themselves to a variety of research and opinions. However, these extraordinary arrangements are arranged from the students' own pockets since they do not constitute part of the curriculum.
Living expenses is another problematic area for most foreign students. Having a place to stay on campus would be the ideal situation for most. That way, one can cut down on transportation fees. Most schools offer meals at cheaper prices within campus for students who stay on campus. Some halls even include meals in their rental fees. Unfortunately, being able to find accomodation on campus isn't an easy feat. There are so many students fighting for that one vacant lot in some good universities. Those who aren't lucky enough to get a room on campus will have to make do with renting houses outside which are more expensive and involves costs to travel to and fro from campus. Dining is more costly out of the campus too.
Sometimes, students may wish to gather around and have some celebrations for festivals. That would greatly increase the amount of money spent on dining. If this is an occasional event then it won't be a cause for concern.
Other than living expenses, one also has to make considerations for illness, accidents, emergency situations etc. All these mean that the student must have cash on hand to help himself/herself out of these crisis.
Thus, from all the points stated above, it can be seen that studying overseas is indeed an expensive option.
