1. Pre-book onto Tours & Activities on your Study Abroad Adventure:
90% of the time it id definitely cheaper to pre-book than to turn up on the day. This way you are able to avoid the queue, which is also a great motivator for pre-booking!
Check online and sign up to newsletters advertising student deals. I research student deals and post them here. There are some great student deals posted for Brighton currently...
2. Give Something Back and Volunteer Abroad.
I do realised that it was only a matter of days ago, that I was preaching the benefits of volunteering, either whilst studying abroad, on a gap year or any other time in your life in fact! So, for that reason I will not go too in-depth today, however, I would just like to say...
Often they are free, food and accommodation is provided, or if there is a fee it’s normally minimal and will cover accommodation, food and material costs dependent on the project.
3. Budgeting: Be Honest and Realistic.
Our international students come to us for advice and guidance on their study abroad adventures, Elizabeth and I agree that being realistic about your trip and budgeting accordingly is one of the best pieces of advice we can give. Whether you are going on a short trip of just a few weeks, or you are studying abroad for a few years, careful and honest budgeting is a must.
Part two coming tomorrow morning...
