Miscellaneous expenses: life index of university location (divided into 4 grades)

In the United States, there are many kinds of fees besides tuition. Therefore, when making university plans, students need to make a budget for the selected school, and the total budget should include all the expenses of each academic year. Miscellaneous expenses generally include: comprehensive medical insurance premium USD 300-USD 500, student activity fee USD 100-USD 300.

The average cost of food and dormitory is 5000 dollars.

Some schools require students to live in dormitories, at least for the first year. There are also some schools where students can attend day schools. Day students save more money than students who live on campus, but they increase their transportation expenses. The meal ordered by the school is the regular food provided by the school canteen. Dormitory fee means that two people share a room, and it is necessary to know whether the accommodation fee includes bedding (quilts, pillows, blankets) and basic dormitory services. If students live on campus in summer, the budget for room and board needs to be increased by three months.

The average price of books and necessities is 1000 USD. The school will estimate the cost of books and necessities every academic year. If the fields that students intend to study need special necessities, such as machinery, art, movies, etc., students' consumption will be higher than ordinary ones.

The average flow is $600.

The school's transportation budget usually does not include students' international travel between the United States and China, so students have to add this round-trip fee. If you plan to change from residential study to day study, students must bear the local transportation costs.

The average personal consumption is $65438 +0000 yuan.

These expenses include basic daily necessities, services and activities, such as washing clothes, watching movies and doing sports. Health insurance should also be included. If students have family members or special medical needs, the living expenses will increase a lot.

Insurance premium and activity fee: general comprehensive medical insurance premium is 500-800 USD, and student activity fee is 500-65438 USD +0000 USD. For international students, student medical insurance is compulsory. Without this insurance, students can't register for school. Because the medical expenses in the United States are very expensive and difficult for individuals to afford, it is not easy to be accepted by hospitals or clinics without insurance. When students do not have their own insurance, American schools also provide medical and accident insurance for international students to buy. Some schools include insurance premiums in their registration bills, and students have already purchased insurance without knowing it. Some schools require students to buy insurance knowing that they have no insurance. In fact, students can choose medical and accident insurance that suits them, with low premiums and good protection. As long as students provide proof that they have purchased insurance, ordinary schools will accept it.

Because there are great differences among universities in the United States, there are many factors that can determine the cost and expenditure: private universities and public universities, the local living standards of schools, and the lifestyle of students themselves all affect the cost and expenditure in the United States. Therefore, it is suggested that when you apply for studying abroad, especially when choosing a school, you should not only consider the university ranking, geographical location, local climate, students' interests, future employment and other factors, but also consider the geographical location of the university and the local consumption level.
