𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐚'𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐀𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝: 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 In 📸: Chandrala Kuthyaru, Leverage Edu student Arriving in a new country with a suitcase and a head full of excitement, Chandrala Kuthyaru recalls how she tackled her first week in student accommodation abroad. Here’s how she made her space feel like home, step-by-step: 1️⃣ "Pack Smart, Not Heavy," she reminded herself 🧳 As Chandrala unpacked, she was glad she hadn’t overpacked. She’d brought essentials—some bedding, favorite clothing pieces, and a few keepsakes—but left items like toiletries and cookware to buy locally. It helped her travel light and start fresh. 2️⃣ First Stop: Stocking Up on Kitchen Basics 🍽️ Knowing she’d need to eat, Chandrala picked up a few kitchen essentials, like a small set of utensils and a microwave-friendly mug. "I didn’t get everything at once," she recalls, "just the basics to make quick meals and see what else I’d actually need." 3️⃣ “The First Few Days Are Hectic,” she knew 🥪 Having been warned about the fast pace of orientation week, she stocked up on easy-prep meals and snacks. Granola bars, pasta, and instant noodles kept her going, and she discovered local grocery stores had frozen veggies and premade sauces to try. 4️⃣ Getting Connected: Phone and Wi-Fi Setup 📱 Chandrala made her way to a local store for a SIM card and picked an affordable data plan, knowing she’d need it for maps and local contacts. As soon as her Wi-Fi was up, she messaged family back home, feeling more settled with every ping. 5️⃣ Exploring Local Routes and Transport 🚌 Using a transit app, Chandrala learned her way around the city, discovering the best routes to campus, nearby shops, and local cafés. "It helped me feel connected to the city quickly," she remembers, "like I was finding my place on the map." 6️⃣ Getting to Know Her Flatmates 👫 Introductions were a bit nerve-wracking, but she soon found herself bonding over shared experiences with her flatmates. They even organized a casual group dinner that week, which turned out to be a great way to break the ice.

"Adulthood has its share of hard work and discipline—finding enjoyment in the routine can make all the difference." Meet Sadiq Khan from Fly Homes! 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐅𝐥𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬? Sure! I grew up in UP and later went on to complete my Bachelor's at Delhi University. This is my first role, and I've been here since March 2024. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐲. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? My brother-in-law is in army aviation, and his dedication really inspired me to consider the defense forces. For me, it’s not just about motivation—it’s about discipline, the foundation that drives me each day. 𝐇𝐨𝐰’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐅𝐥𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬? It’s been both exciting and challenging. Working here has really helped me grow, even though I never expected to be in a corporate setting. 𝐀𝐧𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞? Definitely! Once, a student came to our head office, frustrated with our services. As his point of contact, it was up to me to resolve things, and I’m proud to say it went well. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐬? Along with working out and reading about politics, I’d say fashion tops the list. I was the Vice President of my college's Fashion Society and participated in several shows, even one at IIT Delhi. 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭. 𝐀𝐧𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫? I do have some ideas! Maybe one day, I’ll be wearing an army uniform I designed or even walking the ramp for a designer like Manish Malhotra. For now, I keep up with a few influencers who inspire me daily. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞? Winter fashion is my go-to—oversized coats, loose pants, high-neck sweaters, and plenty of rings and accessories. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐲, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬? I’d say time with my parents. Living away from family now makes me really appreciate those simple moments I used to take for granted.

Managing utilities and bills is a crucial part of living abroad as an international student. Here are a few essential tips to help you stay on top of your finances: 🟡 Understand Your Bills: Rent typically doesn’t include utilities like electricity, water, gas, and Wi-Fi. On average, utilities can cost around £40-£60 per month in the UK, and between $100-$150 in the USA. Ensure you know what's included in your rent agreement to avoid surprises. 🟡 Track Usage: Use energy-saving practices like turning off appliances when not in use. In the UK, energy costs are rising, and students often see spikes during winter months due to heating. Small changes can save you money! 🟡 Split Bills Efficiently: If you’re sharing accommodation, use apps like Splitwise or Venmo to manage shared expenses. This ensures fairness and transparency, reducing any conflicts over money. 🟡 Look for Student Discounts: Many utility companies offer student discounts or flexible payment plans. Research beforehand and choose providers that cater to student needs. 🟡 Budget Wisely: Allocate 15-20% of your monthly budget towards utilities. For example, in Canada, utilities can cost between CAD 100-200 per month depending on usage.

In recent years, shared living communities have become increasingly popular among international students. Here’s why they’re the go-to option for those studying abroad: 🔹 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Shared accommodations offer cost-effective solutions, allowing students to split rent and utility costs, making it easier to budget in expensive cities like London or Toronto. 🔹 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Moving to a new country can be overwhelming, but living in a shared space fosters instant community. Students can build friendships, network, and create a support system with peers from diverse backgrounds. 🔹 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Shared living spaces often come fully furnished with utilities included, removing the hassle of setting up an apartment from scratch. Many communities also offer amenities like gyms, study rooms, and social lounges. 🔹 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞: Shared living exposes students to different cultures and lifestyles, enriching their overall experience abroad and promoting personal growth through learning about other traditions and customs. 🔹 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲: Many shared accommodations offer secure entry points and 24/7 management, providing peace of mind to students and their families. Choosing a shared living community is more than just about saving money—it’s about making the most out of the study abroad experience by connecting, growing, and living smarter!
