Make a budget - One of the easiest ways to save money, in the long run, is by making a budget and sticking to it.
Use apps to manage your budget - To manage everything else like your bill payments and grocery shopping, you can make use of mobile-based applications like Meet, Bill Tracker and You Need A Budget.
Apply for scholarships and grants - This step should be planned during the admission process. Research the university or college you are heading to and check if you are eligible for scholarships and grants they offer.
Open a bank account - Once you have settled, opening a bank account should be a top priority. Take time to research if the local bank is more beneficial or if there are any branches of Indian banks in your city.
Plan your accommodation wisely - If you have a certain group of people to share an apartment, then off-campus accommodation can be a great option.
Eat out less - If you happen to live in an apartment then cooking your own food can help you save a lot of money.
Avail Student Discounts -Once you get your college ID made, try to avail the maximum number of student discounts especially on public transport, grocery shopping, apparel, or even while visiting tourist spots.
Travel smartly - Walk as much as you can or make use of the USA subway system. Public means of transport are always cheaper than taking a cab or hiring a car.
Use the free extra facilities at your institute - Most colleges or universities have their own gyms, swimming pools, running tracks, recreation centers, and most important libraries.
Use prepaid forex card - During your travel from India and the initial days of your stay in the USA, the best option to save money is using a forex card.
