Managing Expenses
1. Tuition fee is your prime expenditure
Universities in the US are majorly divided into two categories - Public/State and Private. The education
cost at a public/state university is comparatively lesser than that of a private institution. Your expenditure
on tuition fee depends on the type of qualification and university or school you opt for. To cover tuition
fees, you will need approx. $8,000 to $55,000 (USD) a year (indicative) See table
2. Where will you live? Calculate accommodation costs
Most universities in the US offer on-campus residence to international students. Living as a resident on-
campus is a very affordable option, however, you need to apply for it separately, and well ahead in time
to secure a slot for yourself. If you opt to rent an apartment, you will have to additionally pay for utility
bills. The accommodation cost in the US varies by region and lies somewhere between $6,000 and
$14,000 per year (indicative).
3. Cost of your student visa
To study in the US, the first step is to secure a valid student visa and that comes with its own costs
(approx. US$ 160 as an application fee). Feel free to consult your Anaad counsellor for latest updates
and information on the visa application process and related costs.
4. Living expenses
You need to keep a little money aside for your grocery shopping, social activities and emergencies.
Considering various expenses and living costs, a single student budget in the US comes between
$8,500 and US$ 15,000 per academic year (indicative) See table
Managing Expenses
5. Keep safe. Consider health support and insurance
It is mandatory for all students travelling to the US from India to get medical insurance before the
commencement of their program. As per the American College Health Association, the average cost of a
student health insurance plan ranges between $1,500-$2,500 for a year (indicative).
6. Transportation. Know how much it will cost to move around
Unless your institution provides with a shuttle service to-and-fro from your lodging, you’ll have to rely on
the available public transport.
for short distances: You can make use of regional trains, buses, and subways. It is a good idea to get
monthly passes for travelling to college and back as these can be fairly cheap.
for long distances: For travelling between different cities, you can avail any of the following options;
Long-distance bus, Rail, Air etc.,
7. Don’t ignore your taxes
Indian students in the US are allowed to work 20 hours per week during academic sessions and full-time
during vacations. If you choose to work along with your studies, your earned income may be taxable.
Remember, the exchange rate variations may also affect your budgeting. We suggest you also look for a
part-time job while you are studying in the US or seek scholarship in the universities you apply to. This
can help lower your cost of studying abroad to a great extent.
