How do I use the budget filter?
The budget filter shows annual total cost (tuition + estimated living expenses) in USD. Select Low (under $20,000/yr), Medium ($20,000–$40,000/yr), or High ($40,000+/yr). Germany and France fall in the Low tier due to near-zero tuition. USA, UK, and Singapore universities typically sit in Medium–High.
