International Students

From completing applications to packing your clothes and belongings, you have done a lot to prepare to study in the US. However, there’s one major item that is sometimes overlooked: finances. Proving that you can pay for tuition and living expenses in the US doesn’t always prepare you for the culture shock that can occur when you get here.

• Banking in the USA
• Budget your money
• Know your tuition

You should be able to find out your tuition and fee rates by visiting the registrar's office website for your university:

• Urbana
• Chicago
• Springfield

You can use one of several cost of living calculators online to compare major international cities.
