Getting into an American university

With your bachelor’s degree in hand, words like Yale, Harvard or Princeton make you dream. Having the opportunity to integrate one of these famous universities, thanks to the F1 visa to study in the United States, is to ensure a CV to show to future recruiters. This article will shed some light on how to get into American universities. One of the key aspects is the financing of the training.

U.S. University Fees

American universities are among the best in the world. Given the substantial budget allocated each year, students enjoy a well-developed infrastructure. There are two types of institutions, public and private.

Attending an American university will cost you between $15,000 and $50,000 per year.

The United States is one of the top countries for international students. Every year, thousands of young people from elsewhere are allowed to attend their classes. This is due to the fact that the US wants to bring in candidates who excel in their field (science, arts, sports, etc.) and who will be offered a job afterwards.

Financing your studies in the United States

Due to the high cost of college in the United States, international students from non-wealthy families must find funding. It can be:

A scholarship

applied for directly from U.S. agencies, scholarships are difficult to obtain for foreigners. This assistance is primarily intended for students at the end of their studies, or with extraordinary skills (intellectual or athletic). You will have more chances to study abroad from a European country through the Erasmus program.

A job

Finding a job to help finance your studies can be a good solution. Universities offer their students positions within their campus (helping with catering, managing the university’s websites, supervising the library, teaching undergraduate students…).

A loan

As a last resort, if all other alternatives have failed, you can apply to your bank for a loan.

This decision must be thought out beforehand. Since university tuition fees are very high in the United States, you will be responsible for a large amount of money, which you will have to be able to pay back at some point. It is also mandatory to obtain an American visa in order to be allowed to go there: for an internship with a J1 visa or for studies with the F1 visa.
