Norway is cheap for tuition but expensive for living (NOK 12,000-15,000 per month). UK London is expensive (GBP 1,200-1,800 per month all-in) but part-time work (20 hrs/week) can offset INR 30,000-50,000/month. Canada costs vary hugely by city - Waterloo and Hamilton are much cheaper than Toronto and Vancouver. Australia has generous work rights (48 hrs per fortnight) and strong minimum wages (AUD 24/hour) that significantly offset living costs.
