How to save money by studying in Australia?

1, cooking by yourself can save 800 Australian dollars per month.

In April 2008, Song was admitted to South Australia College to study automobile maintenance. According to him, although the price in Australia is not very high, it costs about 30 Australian dollars a day to eat out, which is nearly 1000 Australian dollars a month, which is not a small expense for international students. Song suggested that international students buy food and cook by themselves. "It costs 40 Australian dollars a week, and about 200 Australian dollars a month."

2. Find a part-time job and pay more attention to English newspaper websites.

Living in Australia, many international students will go out to work part-time in their spare time for the sake of alleviating economic pressure or studying abroad experience. Song reminded that when looking for a part-time job in Australia, you can't just stare at Chinese newspapers, but also English newspapers, which will be more informative. In addition, you can also go to some part-time websites to find a suitable part-time job. "Australia is a country ruled by law, and the part-time information on the website is safe and reliable." Song said.

For part-time jobs in Australia, the average salary during the probation period will be 8- 12 Australian dollars/hour. After the probation period, the hourly wage will rise, "enough to subsidize the living expenses." However, it should be noted that if you want to work in Australia, you must indicate on your visa that you are allowed to work. If it is not stated in the visa, you must apply to the local immigration office. There is still a time limit for international students to work, and they can only work for 22 hours a week at most, otherwise they may be sent back to China by the local immigration bureau.

3. Sharing is cheaper than living in a teaching building.

Students living in Australia know that many schools do not provide dormitories, and students need to rent their own houses. Some schools provide dormitories, and the accommodation fee is about 300 Australian dollars/week, including utilities and internet access. Renting a house in Australia, far from the city center, will be relatively cheaper. Besides, apartments are more expensive and houses will be cheaper. Song and two friends rented a house with three bedrooms and one living room. An average of more than 200 Australian dollars per person per month.

4, the high oil price makes it uneconomical to buy a car.

Living in Australia, it is not recommended for international students to buy a car, because the oil price in Australia is high and rising. It will be much cheaper to take public transportation. There are three kinds of tickets in Australia: one is an ordinary ticket, and one ticket can be reused 10 times; One is a bus ticket, students can take any public transport within two hours, and the discount is only a dozen Australian dollars. The other is a noon ticket, 56 Australian dollars. There is a discount for holding tickets at noon within the specified time.

5. Tips for saving money

1. Every Tuesday and Thursday, local coles, woolwthorths and other stores will have a big sale, and the discount can be as low as 50%.

2. Buy clothes at bigw store, as low as 2-3 Australian dollars. Target stores sell clothes and daily necessities imported from China, and the prices are also very low. There is a half-year sale in June and July every year, and the discount is as low as 45%. There is also such a discount during Christmas.

Oil prices in Australia are very expensive. If you want to save money, refuel on Tuesday or Sunday, and the oil price will be much lower in these two days.

4. Book air tickets in advance and enjoy the discount. International students who go home for the Spring Festival book air tickets for 65438+February in February. At this time, booking tickets can save 400 to 500 Australian dollars.
