hey im applying for exchange this sem.
basically, as u probs already know - you need to show proof that you have at least 1,800 for each mth you plan to be on exchange for. So basically, apart from your current savings from income.... you can:
- show your credit card limit (they accept this) as they "don't care if you can't pay it back" LOL
- if your parents will, draw up a letter where they promise that they'll give you x amount of money during the time you're o/s or whatever
- draw up yourself, a timeline of income to be received from now and until you go on exchange?
I can't think of anything else just yet...
Oh and also there are OS Loans available - go check it if desperate!
PS. where are you planning on going to?
EDIT: haha i just realised i probs half-answered your question.... I am nowhere near how much I need either... don't worry too much :S just keep working and saving i guess..... I have 3 varied jobs.. so trying to not spend as much as i do
