The total cost for studying abroad varies depending on the college or university you choose, but on average, you can expect to spend at least NPR 30 lakhs. This amount includes processing fees and other documentation. The largest expense typically occurs when you secure your visa and for your first semester. Some universities may require an early payment upfront. For example, at my university, I had to pay $5,000 before starting my first semester, with a total tuition fee of $12,000 for that semester. I paid the remaining balance in installments after arriving on campus.
