depending upon the telephone,electricity bills and other expenditures.
Get $1200 - $1500 in traveler's checks
(American Express and Thomas Cook are widely accepted), $300 - $400 in cash
(not in $100 bills). At least $2 in quarters (25 cents coins) or get dollar
bills ($1 etc).This amount will be useful for the initial expenses
If you are not funded from the university, make
sure you bring sufficient funds from home. Contact your department or the
graduate students office to ascertain how much you will need to bring along.
The tuition fess can be paid in four(4) installments. Non-funded students are not supposed to work off campus -
application for on campus jobs (or assistanships) can be made later after you
get here. Funded students get their first paychecks around mid September so
bring about $1000-$1500 to see you through that time. If you are required to
attend the English Language Institute course, you will get paid for the month
of July
