Small savings add up over six years. Students and parents commonly use these tips:
- Cook with friends instead of eating out daily.
- Buy second-hand textbooks from senior students.
- Use student discounts on transport, phone plans and museums.
- Book flights home early and avoid peak holiday dates.
- Compare money-transfer services for fee payments; exchange rates and fees vary.
- Track spending with a simple monthly budget.
Never save money by skipping health insurance or medical check-ups.
