Yes, living costs play a major role in the total cost of studying abroad. In addition to tuition fees, you’ll need to budget for accommodation, food, transportation, health insurance, and personal expenses.

Living expenses can vary greatly depending on the country and city - sometimes they may even be higher than tuition fees. Make sure to factor these costs into your overall study abroad budget.
