In exchange for 15\u201320 hours of work per week for a department, the university typically waives your entire tuition and pays you a monthly stipend of $1,000\u2013$1,500 (~\u20b991,500 \u2013 \u20b91.37 Lakhs) to cover your living expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Leverage_On-Campus_Part-Time_Work\"><\/span><strong>2.

Additionally, always use your student ID for discounts on tech, insurance, and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> While the Rupee has reached a new low, your 3-year OPT period allows you to earn in Dollars and pay back loans in Rupees, which is a massive financial advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing to pursue a Master\u2019s in the US is a massive step, but it shouldn&#8217;t feel like a financial trap.
