    On average, a student spends approximately INR 93,000 in a month to fulfil living costs in USA. The cost of living in USA is 224.3% higher than the cost of living in India also the rent in USA is 769.9% higher than in India. Thus, it is natural that the cost of living in the USA is very high for an Indian student. 

    The costs of living in USA also heavily depend on what part of the US will you be living in along with how much you will need extra expenses for maybe socializing or for personal expenditures. Some of the basic elements for living as an international student in the US are:
