What're the cheapest universities in america?

We Answered:

There are all sorts of scholarships available to international students, you just have to be resourceful in finding them. Public universities are almost always cheaper than private ones, however, you have to look at the out-of-state tuition costs as you are, obviously, not from the state the school is located in. Out-of-state tuition and fees tend to be anywhere from $20,000 - $40,000 a year, depending on the school.

Almost every four year university provides opportunities for room and board (i.e. housing and dining) to students. However, these come at a price. Housing can be anywhere from $5,000 - $15,000 a year and dining (assuming you get a standard meal plan of 10-15 meals a week) can be anywhere from $1,000 - $6,000 a year.

In the end, every school is different, and it is easier to determine which schools have your program (most schools have computer science, computer engineering, and/or library & information science programs) and where you would like to go geographically and choose a school that way.

For example, the best Library and Information Science program in the country (according to the US News and World Report magazine) is at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (which is also considered one of the best universities in the country as well). Here, tuition for undergraduate students from out-of-state is $23,500 a year.

good universities to study graphic design in america for a foreign student?

We Answered:

I am a foreign student myself and majoring in Graphic Design. The 1st thing to check with Universities is that if they going to accept your transfer credits. If not, then you probably have to start at junior colleges or private schools. And since you are from other country, you must take the toefl.

When I transferred to a local University, I had to do the toefl and the required entrance exam from the school for General Edu classes (e.g. eng, math, etc). Once you are in, then you have to do a number of lower division classes before you can apply to go into the major. Once they accept you into the major, then you can continue to take the upper division classes.

Not sure if it's exactly the same in private schools, but I can tell you the private schools are pretty expensive. Especially the ones in San Franciso. One of my classmates transferred to a private school in San Franciso because he couldn't get into the major and he told me that he's renting a room for about $800 and have to commute about an hour to school one way everyday. And he said he got a cheap room!

The cost of the state university I went to wasn't so bad. Affordable. Besides, the one I went to have a really great graphic program. If you need more info on any school, the best thing to do is go to their website and email the people in the International students department. They can provide you with a better answer. Good luck.
