1️⃣ Choose Affordable Housing & Location

• Apply early for university housing, which is usually cheaper and closer to campus.
  
  

2️⃣ Work Part-Time During Studies

• International students can work up to 16 hours per week during semesters.
• Part-time income can cover food, transport, and basic living costs, reducing dependence on savings.
  
  

3️⃣ Apply for Scholarships & Grants
