if i want to continue my uni studies in the US/japan, do you think it is affordable?
i come frome a middle upper class family, household income above nat'l average....
i know the tuition fees arent that expensive, tokyo uni is like at most sgd10000, georgia tech is around 15 k usd per year....but is staying in those countries damn expensive? anyone studied in US before? -
if u're working part time i suppose it's still survivavleble.

In Aussie its like 21k AUS / sem....a year is like 42k AUS? (excluding lodging)
There is SMU, NTU, SIM and NUS that offer finance related degrees...SMU would be a better choice but its quite stressful there...depends on what you want...but if its true...then studying in US is really cheaper than AUS...=/ -
