5 Tips to Manage Your Money While Being a Student Abroad

March 2018

Managing your money is the most crucial and difficult thing while you're studying abroad. You are in a new financial system, with new currency and completely different pricing methods.

So, here we'll give you five tips on how to manage your money while being abroad and avoid all the stressful situations like borrowing money or sitting at home on a weekend due to lack of money.

Prepare your budget carefully :

This is one of the most important thing. You must always know how much money you have on you, over what period of time.

The very first thing you ought to do is get yourself used to the local currency and exchange rates as you would naturally calculate everything in your domestic prices. Know the equivalence between the two currencies and keep a list in your head. It would take some time for you to get used to it, but it would prove itself beneficial down the line.

The next crucial thing you have to do is prioritize your expenses. Your expenditure must be more inclined towards what you need rather than what you want. You should pay for your rent and bills first, this way, no matter what happens, you will be rest assured to have a roof over your head.

Find a Job :-

You can easily find a part-time job at your study abroad location. It will offer you the liberty to study as well as earn some extra income. Jobs such as bartender, retail, copy-writing have more flexible hours and are also a good way to meet new people at your study location, which would help you to ease the financial pressure.

Universities often have established programs for international students where you could get a part time job within the university’s body (library, campus, administrative task etc.). It won’t pay much but the best thing is that it is coordinated with your studies.

Spend like a Local :-

The biggest disadvantage of shopping while studying abroad is getting ripped off by local merchants. So, acquaint yourself with a local person and ask him/her about preferred local shops and services located outside of big malls and shopping centers. Thrift shops are another great way to find clothes and interesting items that may be useful.

Spend as less as possible in the initial months of your stay, so you would be able to figure out how much money do you exactly need. You could save on travel costs by checking for transportation options in your university.

Manage Social Interactions :-

Another crucial aspect of managing money while studying abroad is managing interactions with your friends and “out of the blue” adventures. A number of situations will be completely unpredictable and you will have to deal with a lot information at the same time, interactions with friends and random excursions to nearby tourist locations. This would not allow you to keep a track of the amount of expenditure and you would find it extremely difficult to anticipate how much money you will be needing in advance.

Try and avoid visiting expensive restaurants, bars, pubs or cafes. Instead of eating out all the time, cook for yourself. This way you would be able to save a lot of money, which would come handy when you are invited by your friends or colleagues.

Be a Smart Banker :-

The very first thing you must do is to check if your bank has a branch or a partner at your destination. If it available, it would be easier and cheaper to deal with financial transactions. If it isn't available, you might have to use ATMs which, in most cases, belong a private company or a separate financial institution. Here, you will be charged for each withdrawal, and also it would charge you a percent of amount you've withdrawn.

To avoid all of these charges you should open an account at the local bank and have your money directly transferred to it. Use online banking frequently. In case of credit cards, check in advance the charges that may apply to use it at a foreign land.

Studying Abroad – One Size Doesn't Fit All

February 2018

An education abroad is a defining moment in an individual's life and is one that will be cherished for years to come. It is an opportunity that allows you to witness a unique lifestyle, and seek out adventure. From widening your global network to taking in a new culture, the perks of a program abroad are tremendous; you experience how concepts from the classroom unfold into the outside world. There are several aspects that need to be considered when deciding on a degree abroad, and Edwise guides you through each and every one of them. Studying abroad doesn't come with a one size that fits all; the selection of every country, program and university is tailored according to a candidate's choice and preference. Edwise transforms your dream of an overseas education into a reality and is the answer to all your study abroad needs.

Choosing the Right Destination

The medium of instruction and methods of teaching are what students look for when pursuing a degree overseas. An individual's choice of country can be based on several factors. Some see it for the opportunities that come from it, while others see it as means of exploring new territory or mastering a foreign language. Whatever your reasons may be, our counselors provide explicit information on study abroad destinations.

Program Choice Matters

Since a foreign education comes with an array of course programs, candidates must first define their goals and ensure that their pre-requisites are in order. Edwise examines every profile carefully and assists in selecting courses in accordance to personal requirements and career interests. We also provide a fair and unprejudiced opinion on the various study abroad options available.

Financial Parameters

Studying abroad costs money, not just for tuition and travel, but for housing, food and other expenses as well and while there are some that can afford an overseas education, there are others that seek financial assistance. Edwise offers guidance on student loans and scholarships available and offers candidates a chance at an affordable education.

Personal Development

While you are confined in the boundaries of your own country, you don’t dare to step out of your comfort zone.

What Parents need to know about Studying Abroad?

February 2018

Being a parent, it is obvious for you to be keen in your child’s education.There are number of things to worry about. You are likely to have a lot of questions related to overseas education. It’s quite natural to have dozens of worries and apprehensions in your mind while you plan your child’s future in abroad. Usually, tough decisions about when, where and what to study are usually made by the students but highly unlikely you would want to shatter his/her dreams for the sake of your fears. While being well informed, you can play a supporting role as a parent and mentor for your child.

Here are the lists of measures one can take being a parent for the students studying abroad:-

• Always Informed

Start by gathering information on the chosen study destination. You may also want to check with the admissions committee of the University for the Security for international students. The course curriculum, campus life abroad and the accommodation options available for international students plays a significant role and one should be well informed about it. It’s better to be prepared to ask the right questions to the college representatives using all the information you’ve gathered.

• Safety Comes First

How safe is your own native country? Safety concerns will arise in every parent’s mind and it as important as any other issues.Safety of a student studying abroad is one of the primary concerns these days. Provide your child the information and resources he/she needs to make better decisions and educate them how to be safe and cautious once they reach their study destination. Encourage your child to cultivate and utilise their skills while living abroad.

• Packing

As the departure date of your child arrives, you can have a lot of anxiety and thoughts creeping up in your head. It is difficult to part with a loved one, but it’s important to understand how much the student benefits from an independent living. It’s important to pack light, but wisely.Check the weight of the luggage, and see if your child is able to move around with it as because he/she has to move with it for a quite a time while settling down.

• Accommodation And Food

Your child is a growing adult who has to live his/her life ultimately the way he/she plans to.As a parent, you can teach your child to be more adaptive to different cuisines abroad though they might be used to home-cooked food. You can also teach your child to cook his/her own food to save up on restaurant bills.Perhaps you can do some homework and find some local restaurants that serve Indian food.

• Planning

Everything might not as well go according to the plan but you can atleast try your hands in it. Saying so,give some time for your child to settle down until she/he starts making plans on their own.Get them to do the bulk of research on matters related to overseas education.Place your trust on your child and give him/her the confidence needed to make his/her own decisions while studying abroad.Don’t over-think that your child will be influenced by the Western culture or so because ultimately it’s we who create our own culture.

• Responsibilities

Encourage your child to solve his/her own issues that may arise while studying abroad. He/she should be aware of his/her responsibilities while staying away from homeland.This will empower your child, and will also help him/her face any challenges that may emerge during his/her stay abroad.Keeping a tab at every step and assessing their movements may not help them much.Each child has different maturity levels.

• Visits

Remember that while it may be a vacation for you, your child still has responsibilities. It is very obvious for you to miss your child, but it’s important for him/her to spend some quality time immersed in a foreign culture and engaged to grow as an individual. Plan a visit only at a time that is convenient for your child. You don’t want to be showing up during their exam time..

• Return to Homeland

Being parents it is very hard to part ways with your child. Studying in abroad sometime seems to be challenging as your child might not feel coming back as they get adapted with the culture in the hostland.You must embrace the fact that on his/her returns to the homeland.Allow your child a period of adjustment when they first return home. Listen to what your child has to say — he/she about the great deal of experiences.

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

While parents may have reservations of sending their child away to a foreign country, there are several benefits that come with studying abroad. Whether you choose to study at an undergraduate or university level, a study abroad program will benefit you in several ways. It allows you to communicate across different cultures, and simultaneously boosts your overall personality. Listed below are reasons why you should consider a degree abroad.

• Explore a different culture

Studying in a new country gives you the opportunity to witness an entirely different culture. Trying out the different types of local food and learning about the customs and traditions of your new home country is not something that you experience everyday. Studying abroad will leave you with fond memories and the chance to experience life overseas.

• Meet new people

Friendships you make with people when studying abroad will last you all through your university life and for years to come. Meeting new people is part of your study abroad experience and is something you will always cherish your entire life.

• Learn the local language

One of the great things about studying abroad is being able to learn the local language. Students that have travelled and studied abroad found that by conversing with the locals on a daily basis, they were able to master the language alot sooner than expected. Learning the local language comes with several added advantages, for starters it makes you desirable to potential employers.

• Celebrate different festivities

By choosing to study abroad, you experience the joy of celebrating festivals different from the ones you have back home. Participate in the Easter egg hunt or indulge in a home cooked thanksgiving meal. Embracing different festivities enables you to learn all about the country you now call home.

• Traveling

Traveling to neighbouring countries when abroad is the perfect opportunity to explore different parts of the world. Not only is it a great change in scenery, but traveling in between semesters is invigorating.
