Cost-of-living database for international students across major study-abroad cities: housing, food, transit costs by city.

I'm an independent developer based in Austin, Texas. I built Study Abroad Advisor because finding trustworthy guidance on cost of living for international students meant wading through outdated roundups and sponsored lists. Everything here is backed by a real, searchable dataset, not opinions.
The heart of the site is the database: 200 student cities you can search and filter yourself. Around it, I publish practical guides on study abroad cost of living calculator app iOS Android, pre-departure checklist app for international students. I'm also building MoveReady: Pick study city -> monthly budget breakdown + pre-departure checklist (forex, insurance, SIM, banking) with countdown. Free: 2 cities. Affil ($9.99 one-time unlock).
