What a first year actually costs

Tuition is rarely the number that decides anything. This is the whole first year, including the costs that usually surface late.

TuitionPer year, as published by the university	$33,686
Living costsAccommodation, food, transport — a working estimate	$21,500
Student visaGovernment fee, one-off	$620
Health insuranceTypically mandatory for international students	$1,000
First year, all in	$56,806

Not in the table above: The insurance line is the Immigration Health Surcharge, billed UP FRONT for the whole visa plus 4 months — a 1-yr master's pays ~18 months' worth before arrival, not annually.
