Hello everyone!
It is now a month into my study abroad journey in Uppsala University and a lot has happened! One major thing that’s been on my mind constantly is making sure I don’t spend too much money during the first month of arriving. I’ve heard stories from my advisor that some students had to be sent back home because they ran out of funds in the first couple months of study abroad! So in this video I’ll be sharing my struggles on budgeting and financing as well as show you all how much things costs from places like IKEA, ICA (supermarket), and others. Hope this will help provide useful information, enjoy!
