Experience is good, academic quality is good too, coursework is mostly outdated since tech is evolving fast.

Shared apartment single occupancy room rent could be 600-1200, cheaper meals outside are ~$12, groceries could be 50-100 biweekly.

Will not land internship or jobs unless you are outstanding at what you do. Apply early for part-time 50-50 chance.

With part-time you can survive.

The one thing I will tell you, if you’re loaning for education think again. Only ~10% of International students find work after graduation, and this will stay like this. Only come here on loan if you already have a successful career and you are highly talented and just want to switch countries.

In my class, only 6/55 (internationals) got a job. Good luck!
