<p>You can search for community colleges using [College</a> MatchMaker - Type of School](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)</p>
<p>Under “Type of School” choose Two-Year and Public</p>
<p>Under “Cost and Financial Aid” choose $5000 or less for Out-of-State tuition and fees. This way you would have money left over for your living expenses.</p>
<p>Under “Majors” type Paralegal in where it asks for keywords</p>
<p>This will give you a list of about 146 community colleges [College</a> MatchMaker: Results](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board) that you can shorten further by selecting the specific part of the country where you want to be. </p>
<p>I hope this helps!</p>
<p>Thank you for you answers, you’ve been very helpful.</p>
<p>Could I ask you a few more questions? I’ve found a college with a very popular price, 14.300 dollars for the firs year, I don’t know, is the same price also for the second year. Is it possible that the second year is cheaper, than the first year? You know, I’ll stay in-state for a year so; is it possible that I’ll need less money for one credit as USA citizen need? And am I allowed to earn something by working and use that money for paying school fee?
Thank you once again ;)</p>
<p>No, the costs of your education will go UP. Count on it. This year, some schools increased their tuition over 20%. </p>
<p>As an International student at a public school, you will pay more than in-state residents because public schools are funded in part by the taxes paid by state residents. </p>
<p>On a student visa, you are allowed to work legally on campus, but only for about 20 hours per week (usually at little more than $8-10/hr depending on the area.) This will work fine for small expenses, but obviously won’t be enough to cover a large percentage of your fees.</p>
<p>So if the school fee for the first year is 14.400 dollars (all expenses are included) than the second year will cost the same, maybe even more. Someone told me that after one year I can get in-state status and that the credits can be chipper for me after one year. But you are saying that it isn’t truth, and that I will still have out-state status after a year? Did I understand you correctly? And there is no possibility for me to earn some money and pay school fee from that money? So basically I need to have 28.000 dollars (2x14.000) if I want to come and study in USA?
Thanks for you time and for you advices.</p>
<p>You understood me correctly. You will be in the US on a student visa - so you will not get in-state status after a year. (Most schools won’t give in-state status after a year to out-of-state American students either unless they are independent of their parents.) </p>
<p>Yes, unfortunately it is very, very expensive for international students to study in the US.</p>
<p>Could you say me please in which state are the colleges the cheapest or could you recommend me some cheap college (you have to include all costs, school fee, accommodation, food etc.) </p>
<p>How come that college will take or accept students with enough money for only the first year? What will happen if someone can not afford to pay the second year? Wouldnt it be logical that they require money for first and second year or for all costs?</p>
<p>Colleges are required by law to verify first-year funding of international students before they issue the visa documents. It wouldn’t make sense for colleges to ask for proof of funding for more than a year because most students don’t have that. For example, if someone’s parents are making $100,000 a year, they might be in a position to pay $30,000 each year but they might not have 4*$30,000 = $120,000 sitting in a bank account before the student enrolls in a four-year college.</p>
<p>Ok I understand now, could you recommend me any state that has the lowest cost of living?</p>
<p>Does anybody know, is there any college for less than 10.000 dollars per year, all cost included? I know, it’s not an easy question, but I’ve been looking for a long time and I haven’t found anything below 14.000 dollars. So I would be grateful for any information.</p>
