Colombo is a busy and vibrant city with a mixture of modern life, old colonial buildings and ruins. Due to its large harbor and its strategic position along the East-West sea trade routes, Colombo was known to ancient traders since 2,000 years ago. It was made the capital of the island when Sri Lanka went under British Rule. Its status as a capital was retained when the nation became independent in 1984.

As a port city of Sri Lanka, Colombo also has a number of resorts by pristine beaches. A flight to the Maldives is just an hour away. In Colombo, the service industry with trades like telecommunications, insurance and tourism contribute to approximately half of the city’s economy.

Before you head off for your studies in Colombo, it is best to set aside time to plan for your stay there. Since you will be staying for an extended period of time, it is important to find a place that is both comfortable and affordable. Keep yourself open to options and choose the place that fits your needs best – at the end of the day, you should avoid leasing a cheaper place that can affect your abilities to focus in school.
