The price listed for tuition isn’t the price most students pay. You apply for financial aid and scholarships, and each family gets a different price based on what they earn. In general, local schools are less expensive than nationally ranked ones.

scholarships can be for sports as well and sometimes there is even something just for being abroad due to the institutions wanting more cultural diversity. There have even been things if your country has few college grads. Granted though those last things are not as in vogue in the current us climate. Honestly you have to be a bit mad to want to go to the us from abroad at the moment. literally have been grabbin students with greencards and deporting them and not necessarily to the home country. Rule of law is vague at best here atm.

don’t come to school here unless you’re parents are rich and they are paying 150% of your costs.
that is what the vast majority of the international student population is here. even at the graduate level.

International students at US universities are 1% genius level students with full ride scholarships and maybe even grants. 5% student athletes with full rides, and likely NIL packages now. 94% children of rich parents that can afford the full tuition price and an apartment + allowance for their children.

yep, unis at my school all have international rich kid dorms that are high end luxury and they park their lambos outside. they don’t associate with the regular students, they live a totally isolated world. they also have lots of special academic ‘help’ to make sure they keep writing those 100K per year checks to the uni and don’t fail out.
when i caught international kids cheating when I was teaching i was basically told to sweep in under the rug because their tuition paid my salary. the rules don’t apply to them because $$$$.

Another thing to note is many colleges are cheaper for people who already live in state. So any option for some is to move, establish residence and then go to college that way.
