DANIELLE HARTRIDGE : MANY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ENCOUNTER FINANCIAL PROBLEMS BECAUSE FOR MANY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY LIVE AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILY
I think what happens is, international student, for a lot of them, its the first time, when they come over here, of being away from their family. And families obviously give them money to look after themselves and theyve never actually had to do that before. So sometimes it can be quite tempting when youve got a lot of money in your pocket, perhaps spend it on things that perhaps you maybe shouldnt be spending it on ... And I think parents as well want to make sure that theyre giving their kids enough money to survive when theyre here. So I think it comes down to managing the budget and managing the money that they have and making informed decisions about how they spend it.
DANIELLE HARTRIDGE : FINANCIAL INFORMATION ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE FOR STUDENTS
I think the financial information advice is something that starts with the students offshore, in terms of getting them to start to think about how much money theyre going to need to live before they get here ... talk through that with their parents and so forth ... and then its about, probably various institutions do this in different ways, but its then probably following up with workshops and so forth, when they arrive, about how to manage their funds.
What they would learn in the program is about how to manage a budget, how to live within the money that they have, how to think about the choices that they make and make wise decisions about their spending ... for example one might be on mobile phone contracts, just to be careful not to over-commit on contracts and so forth and buying things that they might not actually be able to afford.
If students in universities have problems, and theyre likely to .. there will be financial advisers within their institutions who will be able to give them some help. So they would sit down with them, go through their budget, look at what theyre spending and give them some advice about how they could manage that a little bit better. So there are people who have specialist knowledge in that area, who do assist the students.
