Study Abroad Cost Planning
Pipeline-refreshed guide · ~90 words
Tuition + living
Combine university tuition estimates (/universities) with city cost tables (/cities). Scholarship deadlines vary by country — see /scholarships for your destination. Budget for visa fees, health insurance, and flights in year one.
Compare study destinations
Use /comparison for city pairs (e.g. Melbourne vs Toronto) and the student cost calculator (/tools/student-cost). University comparator (/tools/university-comparator) lines up tuition and city context for two programmes.
Student visa checklist
Each city links to a primary student or graduate visa route on /visas. Processing times and work-hour limits differ: confirm CAS, LOA, or local equivalents on official sites before paying deposits.
