Transportation. Know how much it will cost to move around

Unless your institution provides with a shuttle service to-and-fro from your lodging, you’ll have to rely on the available public transport. 

For short distances  –

You can make use of regional trains, buses, and subways. It is a good idea to get monthly passes for travelling to college and back as these can be fairly cheap.

For long distances –

For travelling between different cities, you can avail any of the following options:

  • Long-distance bus

Work while you study

Bangladeshi  students in the US are allowed to work 20 hours per week during academic sessions and full-time during vacations. If you choose to work along with your studies, your earned income may be taxable. 

Remember, the exchange rate variations may also affect your budgeting. We suggest you also look for a part-time job while you are studying in the US or seek scholarship in the universities you apply to. This can help lower your cost of studying abroad to a great extent. 

Great scholership opportunities
