Study hard, travel smart
Studying in Europe is more than just learning. It’s a chance to see new cultures, languages, and places. With affordable transport, you can explore without missing out on school.
To succeed, plan well, manage your time, and be smart with money.
Make time for both studies and travel
It’s tough to balance school and travel. But, here’s how to do it:
- Use semester breaks: Plan big trips during long holidays to miss less school.
- Schedule study blocks: Set study times during the week. Then, travel on weekends.
- Choose travel-friendly universities: Places like Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lisbon, and Budapest are great for travel.
- Consider study abroad programs: Erasmus+ and others help you see more countries while studying.
Travel on a student budget
Traveling in Europe is easy on the wallet. Here’s how to save:
- Book in advance: Use Ryanair, Wizz Air, and EasyJet for cheap flights.
- Take advantage of student discounts: Many places offer discounts with a student ID or ISIC card.
- Stay in budget-friendly accommodation: Choose hostels, university housing, or Airbnb over hotels.
- Use public transport: Eurail passes, local transport cards, and bike rentals are cheap ways to see cities.
- Cook your own meals: Eating out every day is expensive. Shop at markets and cook simple meals.
Stay organised to keep up with studies
Travel is fun, but don’t forget about school. Here’s how to stay on top of your work:
- Use a planner: Apps like Google Calendar help you keep track of school and travel.
- Study on the go: Use travel time for reading or reviewing notes.
- Join study groups: Work with classmates to share notes and study better.
- Limit distractions: Set clear days for studying and traveling to avoid stress.
