It is very expensive.You may not get a scholarship in your early stage.Just think of a good finances,you don't want to be disappointed.Some private school's scholarship absorbs part of your tuition but your part will be more than a public university's tuition for a year.No exaggeration.......it is damn expensive is private universities.

I'm in the US -- Miami, FL. (Florida International University)\n\nI get in-state tuition rates.\n\nAs an undergraduate, I paid $102.08 per credit. (Except I didn't really pay because I had a scholarship)\n\nAs a graduate student, I pay 238.56 per credit. (Except I don't really pay that much because I have a graduate assistantship and it pays my tuition)\n\nCurrently, I'm working on my masters, but I plan to get a PhD.\n\nFIU has some of the lowest tuition rates in the nation, however.

i work at a university and unless students are perm residents or us citizens they can only get loans that are co-signed. otherwise, they're are not allowed to enter the US unless they have the funds to support themselves for the time they're earning their degree.  if you're enrolled in a us university, you should speak to a financial aid officer or visit the university's website for financial aid and the one for international students.  even if you're not enrolled at this time you can visit the schools website to get the info you need.  at the university where i work they try to put as much info as possible on the website for students, parents, and employees and most of it is available to anyone surfing the web

For 2006-2007 the cost is $33,000 for tuition.  This does not include fees which bring the total closer to $42,000. You should expect it to be a few thousand dollars higher in 2010.\n\nGood luck! :)

Here in Italy universities establish their own fees;  there is a legal minimum fee for enrolment and maximum level for student contributions to costs and services, which cannot exceed 20% of state funding.\nThe average fees a student has to pay is somewhere between 850 euro and 1,000 euro per year since this varies from one university to another and also depends on the chosen course of study.\nSee this web-site: http://www.study-in-italy.it/index.html\nCiao!!

Hi!\nAccording to the reports that I have read the cost varies by program, but approximately $5,000 for a high-school program.... maybe you would like to visit this forum for comments and experiences:\n\nhttp://www.suite101.com/discussion.cfm/travelandculture/84911#message_772/\n\nGood luck to your son!

Studying in America as an international student sucks. Every day is a reminder of how broke you are. And you can't even work part time to make a little spending money. It is so ridiculous. Every international student I know is broke as hell. Just study in your own country. I wish I did.

I'm not sure how the international transfer works, your best bet is to contact one on the six places and either email or speak with an academic advisor (admissions may be able to help as well).  Here are the 'steps' to getting a PhD in the US(on average):\n\nAssociate's Degree (this takes about two years and is the lowest of all degrees, you can get one from a junior college, community college, or university...some people get their associate's from a community/junior and then transfer to a university to get the next level...)\n\nBachelor's Degree (this is the degree that most students go for, it takes normally takes four years at an accreditted university)\n\nMaster's Degree (this takes roughly six years, and is usually in preparation for the next step...)\n\nDoctorate (this is the highest level of degree available and takes roughly 8 years to complete)\n\nEach of these degrees build on each other....so when I say that a doctorate takes 8 years that includes getting the rest, but in itself is normally only a 2 year program.  Sometimes you can go directly from a bachelor's to a doctorate, but that's not the typical practice.  There are also specialized degrees (like a law degree...which you go to Law School for, right after recieving your bachelor's, and takes an additional 3 to 4 years to complete).  Sometimes certain things are required before finishing a degree (like a thesis, research, or examination) It is all rather confusing.  The best thing to do is determine what you are using your degree for (do you want to be a psychologist? or just a therapist?  do you want to go to Medical School? ecetera) and then go through the program that will get you there.  If you list a particular use for your degree, I'll try to help you further :).  Good luck, and hope this confusing answer helps!

It all depends on each individual's situation.  \nfor those who intend to get their legal status through work(after they either graduated with at least a bachelor's degree from an accredited college and are sponsored by a legitimate business), if their employers are willing to pay for the fees, then they are lucky that they don't have to pay much. (but don't forget they had to pay for out-of state tuition for at least two years)\nif their employers can't afford the fee, then it cost at least $6800(for both legal and petition fees) from getting your practical trainning , to getting a work visa, to gettin your green card. and all these take at least 6 years if you are very lucky.\n\nif people intend to get legal status through their relatives, then the petition and legal fees  varies even more.  as far as I know, the wait is at least 6-10 years

Call or e-mail the financial aid departments of the specific schools you plan to apply to. Many schools offer their own scholarships or tuition-waiver programs for international students.\n\nThe university I attend, Saint Cloud State University in Minnesota (very far up north in the cold), has great programs for students from other countries, such as cheap tuition in exchange for volunteer work. (We have a lot of international students here, too, so you'd have a wide variety of people to meet.) Check it out at this site: http://www.stcloudstate.edu/financialaid/default.asp .\n\nOh, here's another website with essay-writing scholarships you can check:\n\nwww.fastweb.com\n\nAnd there's a guide at this website that gives details of all the different types of loans and grants: http://www.studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2003_2004/english/types-fedperkinsloan.htm .

there r no as such free Intl universities in US. but if u wish to pursue doctoral studies, nd meet the uni`s requirements, most of them offer funding, stipends, tution waivers and health insurance coverage. so in a way it becomes free. also, if u have been an exceptional student, u may be covered by full scholarship, either from ur country or from the US.

Great job, but I'm not sure how many U.S universities give scholarships to international undergrads.\n\nGood luck!

usually, international students have to pay their way to go to a school in the US...

I am from the USA and just finished a program in Denmark...prior to this year, these colleges in scandinavia DID offer free tuition....now, they charge money to anyone not inside the EU. They have limited scholarships. the price is 15,000 USD per year (yikes!). \n\nI was lucky and one of the last people to get a free education.

The University of North Carolina @ Pembroke is a great choice.  I got my BS in biology from here but I had friends in the business program and they loved the program and the professors.  Its a small school, but the attention you get from professors because of the small classes is great.I'm not sure about international students but By the time i graduated the price was only up to about $16,000.  i hope this helps.

money shouldn't be a problem because most university scholarships, grants, financial aid, etc. can be used in the abroad university. so you will be paying the same price. you may need to pay for your flight, but that can be balanced out by studying in a country whose currency is weaker than the USD.  This usually will mean that housing is significantly cheaper and the cost of living is cheaper.  For example, you could studying in South Africa (which is actually very Western in most cities and quite safe) or South/Latin America. I studied abroad in Thailand....it was way cheap to live there.\n\nIn terms of making money...have you looked into babysitting/nannying/tutoring in a wealthy town or city.  You can make between 12-20 dollars an hour in the right neighborhood.\n\nGood Luck!

short answer yes\nlikely, no\ni would get the md from your country, then come to america and expect to take another year of school to bring yourself up to board levels.\nwhen you get close ot graduating, check out the requirements for us drs and take those classes at home, if you can get them.\namerica is so frightfully expensive, do everything you can at home before comng here.\ngood luck, hope you get here.
