Over a million foreign students go to the US every year, which is almost twice as many as go to the UK, which is in second place. In fact, there are almost as many foreign students in the US as there are in all of Europe. However, you shouldn’t just follow the crowd. Instead, you should think about whether an American or European education is best for you. But why do students from other countries choose to study in the United States? There are a lot of them. The world’s best colleges are a big draw, but so are the chances to study in world cities, make connections with global businesses and tech innovators, or just experience the culture of a country that has changed the world.
You probably already knew that you would have to pay school fees in the United States. Fees for a bachelor’s degree at an American university range from around $10,000 to over $60,000 a year, but most students pay between $25,000 and $40,000. Prices vary based on the type of university you attend. The average cost of a master’s degree is about $30,000 per year, but some classes can be much cheaper.
Private schools run a lot of universities, including some of the most famous ones. These are usually the most expensive, costing around $40,000 a year, because they get their money from fees or donations. The most expensive schools, like Harvard or Stanford, can cost around $60,000 a year. This makes a four-year degree, plus living costs, very expensive.
Since the public pays for state institutions, they are much cheaper. Most of these are between $20,000 and $25,000 a year for people who don’t live in the state. Students from the same state, on the other hand, pay even less—around $10,000 per year, on average.
After course fees, rent is likely to be the biggest cost for most people, and it can change a lot. A single bedroom in a big city like New York or Boston could cost you as much as $3,000 a month. If you went to college in the Midwest, you could cut that down to just $600.
Can people from other countries work in the United States?
The F-1 Visa does let foreign students work in the U.S., but there are strict rules about how much they can work.
Another choice is to keep learning in the United States. You can have as many F-1 cards as you want. All you have to do is fill out a new application. But you might have to apply through your home country to show that you still have a home there.
Apply for a master’s degree. If you already have a bachelor’s degree, you might want to add the specialized information that a master’s course gives you. On the Master’s Portal, you can find more than 35,000 master’s degrees.
Apply for a PhD, which is the best academic degree you can earn. A PhD is a research-based degree that lets you study your chosen field in depth and results in research that adds to what people know about the world. We have a list of more than 3,000 PhDs in the US.
