In favor of International students.There are many international students studying in US but due to expensive tuition fee,living and other expenses they have no other choice than to work off-campus.So how can they maintain their GPA or do well in study?

I am also an international student who wants to do something revolutionary in engineering field.But due to expensive tuition fee,other international students have to sacrifice their study and focus on work due to which they don't do good in their study.Study becomes second priority. #engineering #political-science

I hear you! As an international student I had to go through similar challenges. But I understand those challenges also helped me better prioritize my time, my studies and my activities. I think you can think of taking less number of courses per semester as one solution or getting campus jobs that let you do your homework when the work load is less (say being the RA for a dorm).

Amer’s Answer

I was also an international student and with limited resources to pay for housing/college tuition. The challenge is with the limited number of hours you are allowed to work off campus, then try a position that may allow you to study (I was a night attendant at a parking garage) and was able to do homework while on duty. It is a sacrifice, but will pay off for the long term. Stick with it. Also try to get an internship in your last 2 years of college. Work with Campus staff and see if you can be paired with a company related to your major. Usually the pay is higher and they may recruit you after graduation.
