According to the experience of the students consulted by Mr. Liu of Bida Education, 10 overseas students who returned from studying abroad think that "working is very tiring and bitter, but it makes people gain a lot", because in their view, "working makes the life of studying abroad more complete". However, many parents report that if the study abroad period is short, they are worried that working will affect their children's study, so they disapprove of their children working to earn living expenses.
Here, Mr. Liu of Bida Education summed up the policies for international students in several popular countries:
Britain can work legally, enjoy the same minimum wage guarantee as British nationals, and enjoy full medical insurance except medicine during working hours. Working 20 hours a week is allowed, but it is forbidden under 18. Dining halls and service centers for international students can also take care of laboratories and do some data collection for professors.
