Hey Rajesh!

One of the most important questions to answer iswhich area of the city do you want to live in? This would typically be around the college campus for most people.

The questions to ask yourself are-

Do you want to live within walking distance of your college or a train/bus ride away from there?
Do you want to be down a block from a cool café or library that you found?
Would you be willing to live in a bustling locality with lots of facilities, or the green countryside with the cozy comforts of life?
Whatever you do, you don’t want to end up on the other side of town from where all the cool hangout spots are. Or worse, stuck in a commute that lasts hours. It is often the best practice to decide the locality you want to live in before finalizing the type of study abroad accommodation you want to have.

Hey Devki,
One of the most significant decisions will be choosing a suitable place to stay for the course of your program. Where you choose to stay will affect your entire study abroad experience. It will affect your social life as well as your academic learning. It can be challenging to find a place to stay that meets all your needs. Here are a few student accommodation websites-

Hey Robert,
In the Czech Republic, the cost of student housing in a dormitory ranges from 4,500 to 7,500 CZK (180-300 EUR).

A one-room apartment in the town costs 14.000 CZK (560 EUR), whereas a one-bedroom flat in the countryside costs 11.000 (440 EUR).

You may also rent a huge apartment with friends, in which case the average price of the room will be 7000-8000 CZK (280-320 EUR).

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

"Hey Radhika,

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 .
