Cost of living in Boston || How much I spend in a Month as an International Student in the USA

[@ugwuegbutimothyu4099]

The ability to gather these information's in just a year of being in the US speaks much about your person. You are special. All your video's are packed with information that prepare anyone who desire to relocate or study in the US. You are special.

[@AmaraOsuji]

Thank you 😊

[@jtl9409]

Am Ugandan. Watching your videos is satisfying I must say, very insightful. For someone who is coming to study In Boston next January I feel good having found your account! Thank you Ama. You are doing a good job.

[@AmaraOsuji]

Thank you so much for the kind comment. I hope to create more Boston related content so hopefully you'll find those useful too. Thanks for watching!

[@iluvklaus8626]

Amara, thank you for the video! I am also an international student who got accepted into grad school and now trying to calculate my finances, your channel is really helpful!

[@AmaraOsuji]

You're welcome! Keep in mind that the numbers I shared are for living in Boston and these will vary from state to state and even between different cities in the same state.

[@damilareoluwafemi5356]

Your videos are great. Keep up the hard work.

[@AmaraOsuji]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I appreciate them☺

[@benjaminolowu7209]

Very great content.. well-done Amarachi… What listing did you get your apartment from. I’m kinda stuck here and I’d be resuming by fall. Don’t really know the go on how to go about securing an apartment

[@AmaraOsuji]

Thanks for watching! I found my place on apartment[dot]com. I also looked on sites like trulia and zillow. Facebook is also a good place to use. You could either check for groups targeted at students in your university or use Facebook marketplace. Since you’re not presently in the US, change your location to where you will be living so you can see options available in that area. I hope this helps and good luck with your search!

I love Boston ❤

[@holaholaholahola0]

thank you so much. now I am scared 😂

[@AmaraOsuji]

😂 why?

[@NzubeOhalete]

Great video. Houses are really expensive in Boston. Wow!!!

[@AmaraOsuji]

Thank you Zubby and yes, rent is crazy here

[@mohammedlawal6238]

Boston is quite expensive 😩

[@AmaraOsuji]

It is 🥲😭

[@chineduezihe4939]

This is beautiful.. What is the average graduate assistantship stipend? This seems expensive..

[@AmaraOsuji]

Yea, the Boston area is pretty expensive but I don’t think there’s an average stipend because it depends on lots of different factors such as the school/department, whether you’re a Masters or PhD student etc. I just know that most schools take the cost of living in the area into consideration and provide a stipend that is enough to cover your very basic needs.

[@omamizflawless]

I second it's worth researching on and sharing a video about it. Maybe interview students from other schools including MS and PhD to get an insight into stipends from an RA/TA/GA positions. Thanks for this video

[@alvinibe4400]

That rent price thoughhhhh

[@AmaraOsuji]

😭😭I know. It's honestly ridiculous 😢

[@devbassey]

I am taking a Graduate Ms program in CS. I'd like to know if my student visa permits me to work as well. Cheers 🥂

[@AmaraOsuji]

I know I already responded on IG but I’ll respond here again for others who might have the same question. Yes, you’ll be allowed to work on an F1 visa. However, it can only be on campus and for a maximum of 20 hours per week during the semester or 40 hours per week in summer. Honestly, it’s pretty limiting but you have that option.

[@devbassey]

@@AmaraOsuji thank you for taking the time to enlighten us. Cheers 🥂

[@israelseries7580]

wow Boston is expensive. Please what network are you subscribed to for your phone... It looks cool for 4gig data monthly...

[@AmaraOsuji]

Yep. Boston is crazy expensive. I use mint mobile. You can get it here fbuy.me/tJNKS

[@thevoiceofhope3438]

Interesting... How is it like for someone coming to study at Brandeis University?

[@AmaraOsuji]

Hi. I can’t say because I don’t study there. Maybe you could try checking Linkedin to see people who study there and reach out to them.

[@JaredFleischer]

Brandeis is in the suburbs, like 30min outside Boston. So if you have a car it’s chill and rent is much better in those towns around there.

[@prathyushadevareddy1470]

which location you're currently living in boston?

[@JOANMUODI]

Jesus For a month And I’m complaining about 850-900 rent in Atlanta 😭

[@AmaraOsuji]

🤧if I see 850 rent, Shebi I’ll be happy 😂 Boston is crazy with their prices

[@JaredFleischer]

There’s a closet in Chinatown renting for $1,200 right now. Not a bad deal, easy access to restaurants as the closet is located in the back of a local restaurant. Only downside is that you must sleep standing up since there’s not too much room. Hahaha

[@AmaraOsuji]

@@JaredFleischer 😂🤣 this is hilarious and sad at the same time.

[@monwubachukwuezugo847]

Abeg oo..I wanna ask, is that your natural hair?

[@AmaraOsuji]

🙂nope

[@holaholaholahola0]

4gb per month is crazy!!

[@AmaraOsuji]

Well, there’s wifi everywhere I go so I mainly use the mobile data when commuting so 4gb is enough.

[@chipondeselemani1612]

Wow it's extremely expensive

[@rexakwaowo4351]

Please which state in USA is best for international students to live in, especially those doing health course

[@rexakwaowo4351]

Please

[@JaredFleischer]

Massachusetts has some of the best hospitals in the country so I assume Boston is ideal. But it is expensive here

[@rexakwaowo4351]
