<p>Please List some good colleges.Im looking forward for your help</p>
<p>Due you mean tuition is less than 18, or the cost of attendance is less than 18?</p>
<p>But anyway, a good search of google (or even cc) can tell you this.</p>
<p>Cost of attendance per year .i tried google and it doesnt show any results .please everyone tell me some good colleges for internationals going to computer major with less than 18 000 $ per year</p>
<p>Try the college search at <a href="http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/%5B/url%5D">http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/</a> You'll need to go through several pages before you get to a page where you can select colleges by the cost of tuition and fees. I choose colleges with tuition and fees less than $10,000 which would give you about $8000 for room and board and it gave me 430 colleges with a computer science major.</p>
<p>Grove City College in western PA is less than $18K per year, and highly selective. I don't know how they treat internationals, but do know you are expected to be a Christian and attend chapel/church.</p>
<p>Im searching but i dont know the Good ones below 18 000 .Please some more help</p>
<p>Try state schools.</p>

<p>I don't want to be rude, but it seems that you want other people to do the job for you. Another thing, this is a wrong forum to ask those questions. You may get better responses if you posted such questions in international student forum. International kids frequent that forum and they may be in better position to answer your questions.</p>
<p>To a large extent domestic parents/student frequent this forum and many would have no idea about international admission/aid.</p>
<p>Another option might be your school official who knows international admission process/aid.</p>
<p>Ok..Thanks sorry i didnt know that. I will try there too</p>
<p>There are some good african american schools in Georgia - Morehouse for men, Spellman for women - they are not exclusively african american - they do court other "minorities" and if I am not mistaken, I thought their tuition wat below average for private schools.</p>
<p>Less than $18,000 and a top notched quality education ? Here is one hidden treasure you might want to consider...</p>
<p>I've been trying to talk to people to consider a gem of a school called Grove City College in Western Pennsylvania ( not far from Pittsburgh ).</p>
<p>It is listed among America's TOP 10 conservative college by the Young America's Foundation. See here for the top 10 list :</p>
<p>So, if you're a raging liberal, you'll probably not be happy here.</p>
<p>Grove City College isn't a fly by night school having been in existence since 1876 ( one of the colleges in the country to first allow women to enroll ). </p>
<p>It is : </p>
<p>1) Ranked among the top 10 conservative colleges in the country by the Young America's Foundation . Of course there are others too but I am just citing this one as an example. See the link I provided above.</p>
<p>2) Ranked #4 in a Study by the University of Connecticut in terms of Senior Civic Literacy , outclashing such celebrated schools as Cornell, Yale, Stanford and Brown. </p>
<p>3) Is one of the most competitive colleges in the country ( scroll down to the bottom to see the list ). Average GPA : 3.85 unweighted, Reading and Math SAT close to 1300 (about 1280) and average ACT : 28</p>

<p>4) Barron’s Educational Series has called Grove City College a “Best Buy” in recognition of the College’s quality education and affordable price. See here :</p>
<p>5) Kaplan Publishing’s most recent National Survey of High School Guidance Counselors listed Grove City College as a top school in three areas: schools that are hidden treasures; schools that offer the best value for the tuition dollar; and schools with popular drug-free and alcohol-free activities for students. The survey named 59 institutions from among thousands of schools in the “Best Value” category by weighing their cost against the quality of education. See here :</p>
<p>6) Grove City has been chosen as one of 50 “All-American Colleges” by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. ISI highly recommends the College as a school with programs tied to the “core values of the American founding and the vibrant intellectual traditions of the West.” </p>

<p>7) According to The Princeton Review, Grove City College is one of the nation’s best value undergraduate institutions. The New York-based education services company features Grove City in the 2007 edition of “America’s Best Value Colleges.” The guide profiles 150 colleges with excellent academics and relatively low costs. It includes 103 public and 47 private colleges in 40 states. The Princeton Review chose the colleges for the book based on data the company obtained from administrators at 646 colleges and from its surveys of students attending them. </p>
<p>See here :</p>
<p>8) U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Colleges" Grove City College is listed among the Best Liberal Arts Colleges in the country ( 5 years in a row ). </p>
<p>9) Princeton Review ranks Grove City College as among the Top 20 in Career/job Placement Services based on satisfaction of students who graduate from the school. </p>
<p>See here : <a href="http://www.princetonreview.com/colle...D=1&TopicID=64%5B/url%5D">http://www.princetonreview.com/colle...D=1&TopicID=64</a></p>
<p>Their job fair this year ( according to their Career Placement Office ) has over 200 recruiters coming to the campus for their job fair.</p>
<p>10) To top it all, IT REFUSES ANY FEDERAL AID ( in fact, fought a case in the 1980's all the way to the Supreme Court on this ). </p>
<p>11) Every student who gets accepted is given a free laptop and printer. </p>
<p>12) It has gorgeous, well maintained 150 acre campus with 2,500 students. Gothic architecture abounds.</p>
<p>13) Has an outstanding faculty dedicated to teaching the students that does not have the tenure system. Inspite of this, most of the faculty have been teaching at the school for years.</p>
<p>14) Has a tuition fee (includes board and lodging ) of just under $18,000 a year ( which does not even include need-based aid and merit scholarship. So if you qualify, you might even pay less than already low tuition ). </p>
<p>15) Still is a very athletic school with lots of athletic programs ( team is known as the Wolverines ). </p>
<p>16) One of the safest colleges in the country with crime non-existent. </p>
<p>17) 90% of Freshmen continue into their Sophomore year and 85% graduate within 5 years. Their pre-law and pre-med schools have a 100% acceptance tate into some of the country's best graduate schools. </p>
<p>The main drawback to many people is this -- it's a religious school that is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church and : </p>
<p>A) Separates men and women dorms. </p>
<p>B) Frowns on pre-marital sex, binge drinking and carousing ( listed among the top 10 stone cold sober schools in the country). </p>
<p>C) Requires students to attend chapel 16 times a semester. </p>
<p>D) Greek life is a little too "safe and boring" for most people's taste. </p>
<p>E) Grades are not inflated, so if you were to study in that school, you better make sure you're made of solid academic stuff because you don't get high grades unless you demonstrate you know your subject matter ( which of course makes it hard to get high grades -- not good on your transcript if you want to float through college ). </p>
<p>F) Prefers to accept students who go through a PERSONAL face to face interview to make sure you fit into their system. They don't want to just accept anyone. They want to make sure that you are a good fit for the school.</p>
<p>G) Only has an undergraduate ( B.S. and B.A. ) program. </p>
<p>H) A little too non-diversified in terms of its student racial mix ( what do you expect in a school that does not discriminate based on race ? ). Roughly 95% of the student body is white. If you're hankering for diversity, you'd hate the school. </p>
<p>I've said enough... suffice it to say that Grove City is just ONE of the many colleges out there that provides a solid college education without the fluff courses with tuition fees that are relatively affordable and YET, does not accept Federal money. Other schools I can think of are --- Hillsdale Collge, Christendom College, Franciscan University of Steubenville, etc. </p>
<p>Proof positive that we don't need Washington meddling to guarantee students a good college education. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, people still <em>insist</em> that you have to go to one of the big name universities ( no matter how expensive ) to be worth your weight. The tuition fees and the excessive debt you must incur is beginning to prove otherwise.</p>
