Inflation & Exchange Rate Effect On the Cost Of Education in the US

    Updated on: 25 Oct 2023 5 min read

    The cost of education in the US or for that matter any country abroad is directly affected by the currency exchange rates.

    Options Amid the Rising Cost of Education in the US

    Of late there has been a trend that has worried the universities and other stakeholders in the US. An increasing trend among international students is to move to the UK, Canada, Australia, etc instead of going to the US. The US government is even considering some big reforms in terms of eased immigration policies, fast processing of green card applications, and other reforms.

    But in these times when the cost of education has increased so much, students can also consider the UK and Canada for similar prospects at a relatively lesser cost of education. It’s not like that as if there hasn’t been volatility in terms of the exchange rate of rupee to pound or Canadian Dollar but the overall impact doesn't seem to make much of a difference on the cost of education. These destinations can be an alternative to the US as even if there is an increase in the tuition cost, at least it will not be worsened by exchange rates.
