thenemesis,

3) Those who work and pay their own way through college.  And. this kind of people do not go for the most expensive school.

After deducting cash from on-campus jobs, the cost per year is just slightly more than what you pay studying in Taylors.

Err, birth cert and certificates don't need la I think. I never brought them over also. If you really want a copy of your birth cert and a copy of your most important certificates is sufficient.

For cash I would say 400 is more than enough. Spread it over your body and bags so you won't be screwed if you are unlucky enough to get mugged. Keep a copy of your passport and visa in each place you keep the cash. Those two are the msot important things no matter what.

I would disagree that 400 is enough, it is definitely not enough. Sure you can open a bank account and wire that in, but if that doesn't work there is absolutely nothing to fall back on (unless you have a credit card).

You should expect that your initial month spending and deposits to somewhere north of $1500. Expect to spend on things from health insurance to shampoo.

In terms of cash, 400 is enough, but take like $2000 worth of traveler's checks.

hey all~<

how do you guys apply for Uni's in the US?
Do u apply online straight from their website or go to Education agents?

Place where im currently at, does not do US universities applications. Only all for Oz and Uk

You do it yourself, look up the university that you seek to be in, register online and follow their instructions. There are some logistics to deal with that you have to do yourself, like sending your transcripts in.

Back to studying >.<, 3 mid-terms next week.

Note: F-1 students are not allowed to work off-campus. But the percentage of getting caught is extremely low. Like 0.01%.
False, CPT and OPT allows you to work off campus, google if you want to know more.
