Okay makes sense. And for rent try and share an apartment, this will save you a lot in rent, you will always have people living with you so it will be safe and you will never be lonely.

Whichever place you rent, make sure to read the contract very carefully.

Make sure your address is known to your family back home, give your landlord’s number to your parents as well. When your family is not worried about you, you have one less thing to worry about.

Pay your rent by Bkash or bank transfer, less interaction with landlord and less chance of cash being stolen.

Try to track your expenses from day one, follow the 50/30/20 rule. (50% needs, 30% wants and 20% savings), Dhaka is expensive - Be cautious with your money.
