Hi all,
I recently switched my major to Business and I wanted to do something International. My advisor explained that there’s a program my school offers for International Business Students, but it requires studying abroad. So, I did what I needed to and I looked up what programs to go through, etc. I got my passports and have the money said for my visa for Australia, but my final question is: How much money do I need for spending money? I know this vary’s on what you do, etc. and I want to get the full experience for living over there for a semester. So, if anyone has been to Australia: how much money would you recommend? I was thinking somewhere around 1.5k-2k, but I’m afraid I’ll run out of money because of food and other needs.
Is this for a full semester or a summer abroad?
Full semester
My daughter went on a 12 day trip to Fiji, Australia, and New Zealand last year. She had some meals included and easily spent $1000. Granted she added some excursions and side trips in addition to those that were included in her tour. I’m thinking you will need more for a full semester. But it depends on what is included. If you lodging and food is covered you may be able to live more frugally.
