A bank surveyed overseas students in Australia and summarized the following data:
The annual fee for each international student is AUD$42193, including AUD$24181 for tuition and AUD$18112 for living expenses; That is to say, AUD$1511 per month and AUD$375.25 per week.
Let's take a look at the data given by UNSW (University of New South Wales):
1. Rent:
Regarding housing, international students have three housing options, and the price gap is not small. Xiaobian gives you an analysis of the weekly rent in turn:
-School dormitory: the cost is between $231 and $511, and the better the room conditions, the better the geographical location. Whether you want to have your own bathroom or enjoy public facilities with friends from all over the world depends on the amount of money in your pocket.
-host family: international students under the age of 18 must live in host families unless their parents accompany them. The price of homestay is similar to that of the school dormitory, but the geographical location may be far from the school, so you should consider it clearly when choosing Homestay's children's shoes. Homestay usually costs between $311 and $411, and provides breakfast and dinner.
-off-campus rental: most students will choose to rent their own houses, for one thing, the price is relatively cheap, and for another, they are relatively free. In terms of price, a house near the school is definitely expensive. Take the houses around UNSW as an example, the price of a single room is basically $221-$281, the price of a double room (sharing a room with others) is $281-$351, and the masteroom (with its own bathroom) is $321-$411. Generally renting a house, the landlord will cover the water, electricity and gas charges. If it is not included, the specific costs are as follows:
Internet fee: the most cost-effective is TPG (but the signal is not very good), which is $59.99 per month and $15 per week.
Electricity fee: if there is no gas at home and it is all electricity, it will cost a little, which is about $251-$351 a quarter (specifically, how many rooms to stay in the house) However, it's almost $11 a week.
2. About eating:
-Breakfast: Just buy a breakfast outside (sandwich, hamburger, cake+coffee) for $6-$8, and the price is slightly higher. . . So, get up 1.5 minutes early and eat at home by yourself.
milk: 1 knives /kg, you can drink it for 2-3 days
bread: 2-3 knives/bag (16 pieces), and you can eat it for 3-4 days.
cereal: 3-4 knives /kg, enough for half a month.
eggs: 4-7 knives/box (12 pieces). ! ! Of course, everything has a "local version", but it is not expensive. What's important is that there is a discount in the supermarket every week, with half price! It depends on whether you pay attention.
the premise of having such a low-cost breakfast is: getting up early every day, living in a place where you can cook by yourself, and being able to cook by yourself! ! !
-Lunch
Students usually have lunch in the school cafeteria or nearby restaurants, and the price is generally between $11 and $15. However, some students bring their own simple lunches, such as sandwiches and salads.
—— Dinner
is about $15. After class, I will go to the restaurant with my classmates to order two dishes, two bowls of rice and some drinks, which will cost at least 31 yuan. If you go to a famous restaurant, $15 is not enough to plug your teeth. Therefore, the cost of dinner is basically around $15-$25.
if you go home to cook, the money cost is less, but the time cost is increased. The premise of cooking by yourself is: you are diligent, you can cook well, you can clean the kitchen after cooking, and the most important thing is that the place where you live has conditions for you to cook!
-supper (for reference only)
supper is necessary during the p>assignment due and the final exam. Instant noodles are the best choice, or order a takeaway or something. On average, it costs 5-6 yuan.
according to comprehensive calculation, the basic level of food and clothing in one month is about $611.
3. Transportation cost
-walking: living near the school is basically zero cost; However, the rental cost is high.
-driving: the fuel cost is about $41-$51 a week. If you park in the city, you will lose $31 an hour! Xiaobian is not teasing you, city parking really can't stop!
-Bus Travel: The bus fare in Sydney is quite expensive, and the price of opal cards will soon increase. The bus fare for a week is $31-$41.
Based on comprehensive calculation, the normal travel expenses for one month are about $181
4. Daily necessities+groceries
Daily necessities for brushing teeth, washing face, taking a bath and washing hair, plus paper towels, toiletries, etc. are about $81 a month. Boys and girls who love beauty should increase it by themselves ...
5. Telephone charges
Most students choose Vodafone, the basic package.
6. The learning cost
is not high tuition, and books in Australia are so expensive that I want to cry! A new book costs about $121, and a second-hand book costs about $81-$111. There is also the cost of printing and copying. UNSW costs 31 cents or 51 cents to print a piece (I have known the current price for many years after graduation). So, the cost of a month's study is about $71!
Concluding remarks: Living in Australia for one month * * * is $2,111 (taking Sydney as an example)
Is it too expensive to cry! I didn't know how much money is until I went abroad! Classics! Flowers!
The necessary conditions for realizing "$2111"/month are as follows:
If you don't get sick, don't take medicine. Although you can use the insurance for overseas students to see a doctor, you still have to spend your own money to buy medicine!
Never buy clothes, shoes or bags! Otherwise, the living expenses need to become "$3,111"!
Never go out to travel, never go back to China during holidays, and never entertain any classmates and friends who come to visit you (how can you live an out-of-touch life?)!
never give gifts!
cherish all electronic products and don't break them! Can't afford to repair the computer!
if you are determined not to fall in love, how can you be romantic if you can't support yourself? !
however, these conditions are too extreme! Normal socialization is still very important for the study abroad party. Still an old saying: oppose all extravagance and waste, and other flowers should be spent!
