Dream - Some students who study away from home will definitely choose to rent a boarding room or apartment while studying. With the distance between their residence and campus being quite far, living in a boarding house will certainly save both costs and time.
When renting a house or boarding room, of course there will be expenses that can be paid monthly or annually. However, it is different from what Tim Chen, a student at the University of British Columbia (UBC), did.
"Frugal"
Tim has an unusual way of saving money to go to campus. As reported by NDTV, Tim Chen instead chose to take a flight from Calgary to Vancouver to get to his campus.
"2 Times a Week"
He admitted to flying back and forth to campus twice a week. This was done by the team in order to avoid monthly rental costs in British Columbia.
Of course, the way he did it was quite unusual and caught the attention of netizens. The team explained that the flight only took one hour, equivalent to taking a bus.
According to him, the cost spent on long flights is much cheaper compared to renting a bedroom. He mentioned that for every round trip flight he takes, he has to spend $150 or around Rp2.3 million.
This translates to: "This means that in one week, he is estimated to spend $1,200 or around Rp18.7 million. Meanwhile, the rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Vancouver is around $2,100 or Rp32.7 million."
"Expensive Rent for Boarding House"
"Previously, the team rented a flat in Vancouver for several years at the beginning of their studies. However, they decided to move out due to a significant increase in prices. Taking a flight of 643 kilometers also became an affordable alternative."
"I live in Calgary. I have two days to go to school to attend classes (Tuesday and Thursday), I fly to Vancouver in the morning and return to Calgary in the evening. I have flown with Air Canada for all these flights, and in January, I made 7 round trips like this," he said.
