"I want to study in the U.S. but I can't afford it" "How much do I need to pay?" "How can I make it more affordable?" Millions of students around the world dream of studying in the United States. From improving their future prospects, getting a high quality education to having access to better opportunities - these are just some of the reasons of why students want to pursue their higher education abroad. However, studying in the U.S. can be costly for international students.
