Hi Meghana,
Usually, you should fly 1 to 2 weeks before the college starts.
But the date at which you can arrive on foreign soil will be mentioned in your I20/Visa documents.
If not, you can email the recruitment officer to find out.
In the Netherlands, it's cheaper to live on-campus than off-campus.
Living on campus also has a great prospect in terms of socialization and adaptation to diversity.
You’ll love how easy it is to get around the place with a bike – the preferred (and the cheapest) mode of transportation in the Netherlands.
It depends on your preferences as well.
If you want to live by yourself and money is not an issue, go for a studio apartment.
But if you can't live alone or you want to save, live with roommates.
Accommodation expenses depend upon where you stay. On-Campus and off-Campus have different range of expense. For on-Campus the expense can range from $110 to $280 AUS per week and off-campus can range from $90 to $325 AUS per week. Just like accommodation, part time jobs are also on-campus and off-campus. It depends upon where you get the job and how far is your job from the place you stay at. The closer these two are the less expensive it gets in terms of travelling. Both of them have their pros and cons but for more information check out these blogs
Apart from the things Rahul has mentioned, you'll have to pay for your WiFi, your laundry
If you want to cover these costs, you can always find a part-time job, or get a scholarship
Another thing you can do is become a Teaching Assistant or a Graduate Assistant
Choosing between On-campus and Off-campus can be tough. Usually Off Campus accommodations are cheaper as you can share a room/house with other people and on-campus costs more because universities tend to charge higher and provide better amenities. However, this may differ from university to university. On-Campus accommodations usually range from $800-$3000. These usually depend upon the universities, and you can check it out on their websites. For off-campus accommodation there are rentals and home stays. At rentals, you can get roommates to share your financial burdens. At home stays, you can get a homely feel as you get to stay with a family and you will get to know their culture .
