Your least expensive option (assuming you don't have financial aid or grants) will almost always be your public state schools, your local colleges (saving money by living with your parents is a big help!), and sometimes nearby religious colleges.  If you qualify for financial aid, it is supposed to be the same across all colleges - meaning if you have to pay $5000 for your local college, you'd also only have to pay $5000 for Yale if you got in.  Of course, the proportion of grant money to loans may be different too . . .

Of course! To help you pick one however, determine your preferences: student population (Big, medium, small?), setting (rural or urban), distance from home (driveable or flyable?), tuition (what can you afford?), strength of academic programs of interest, student life (parties or mellow?).  All these things can be checked out through a Barron's College guide-type book.  Your guidance counselor is also a good resource.  Once you've narrowed down your choices, try to visit the campuses too -- remember you'll be spending the next few years of your life there! Good luck!

There are four-year colleges that are completely free in the States, I just don't remember which ones.  I know, that's not helpful, but they do exist.

Unless you get a scholarship or assistantship, unfortunately it will cost you more than $10,000/year. Check out University of Miami and UCLA - those universities are located in the places where you want to be.

MIT and Caltech. But you probably won't get in there, plus it's about $45,000/year for either. Next is probably Georgia Tech, which is much more reasonably priced.\n\nOh, and for undergraduate programs, it really doesn't matter where you go that much.

well is seems that you can get your collage education paid for because the scholarships cover tuition, fees, books, and room and board for a full four years. Each scholarship is currently valued at $42,000. besides that you have bragging right to say you the best of the best

It depends on how you plan on using the education.  Most small, 4-year colleges in Michigan meet the same standards for undergraduate work. I vote for Adrian College, of course, since I'm an alum and because it's always had some cool science resources, but Albion is also a good school. The instructor is the key, rather than the school, when it comes to 4-year colleges. If you're going to go on to graduate school, though, start at a university if you can possibly afford it.  Obviously, U of M is the top of the heap, followed by Wayne State.

It really depends on the university. State universities are relatively cheaper than private universities, however you will pay approximately 3 times more than state residents because you are not a US citizen and therefore not a resident of that state. State universities could cost an average of $16,000/year not including room and board. Private universities could cost an average of $30,000/year not including room and board. You must also take into account the cost of living for the geographic area of your choice. You could also apply for an assistantship where most of your tuition costs can be covered by the university.

of course you can! And congratulations for getting your G.E.D., it may take awhile, but 4 year university will be worth it in the end.

Usually, state colleges are the least expensive options for four year institutions, but it is even less expensive to start "general coursework" at a community college, as the fees are lower, but the coursework will transfer. Some examples in Columbus, OH area are Columbus State, Central Ohio Technical College, or Franklin University.

Why that particular college?  Is it a reason your parents would agree with?  If so, perhaps they will pay for you to have a tutor.  If not, perhaps the best thing would be to choose a less demanding college.  \n\nMany people around here go to a two-year community college (which is a good one, but admits most anyone), taking only courses that can be transferred, and then start the four-year school (UCSC) as a transferring junior.  Seems to work out really well.
