Published on July 18, 2020, Bob Mwiti, a former international student in the USA, shares his expertise on the costs associated with studying in America.
As a senior IT consultant and programs director of Appstec America, Bob has firsthand experience with the relocation, tuition, and living expenses that come with studying in the USA.
He breaks down the costs into three main categories: relocation, school tuition and fees, and living expenses.
Relocation costs include moving to the USA, obtaining a student visa, and setting up a new life in a foreign country.
School tuition and fees vary depending on the institution and program chosen, but can range from $10,000 to $50,000 per year.
Living expenses, including food, housing, and transportation, can add up quickly, with estimates ranging from $8,000 to $12,000 per year.
Despite the high costs, Bob emphasizes that there are options available for students from poor backgrounds, including scholarships, grants, and financial aid.
He encourages prospective students to research and plan carefully to make their dreams of studying in the USA a reality.
