Study Abroad Tips is built by students who already figured it out the hard way
We’re a collective of current and former study abroad students documenting the real costs, culture shocks, and wins of living overseas.
From Rome metros to Tokyo konbinis, we logged the mistakes, budgets, and insider intel that never make it into glossy brochures. Study Abroad Tips started as a group chat comparing visa timelines and grew into a global collective with contributors across 30+ cities.
Our mission: deliver clear, trustworthy guides that respect your time, your budget, and your academic goals.
No gatekeeping
Every guide is written with the mindset that someone is arriving next week with limited cash and infinite curiosity.
Student-first
We prioritize tips that help you thrive academically, socially, and mentally while abroad.
Receipts only
Every recommendation is vetted by contributors on the ground—no sponsored fluff, no stock photography catfish.
