<p>Just let it go, appreciate humour.</p>
<p>Neither of your is coming across as very mature… but @Geekogreek, you can’t close a discussion once you have started it. Only the mods can if it violates the terms of service. But maybe we could get past that. I am curious, can you name specific colleges that charge higher tuition or fees for international students, and what the cost difference is?</p>
<p>All of this will be shown to fellow Indians considering US for their higher studies. I think I have enough money to pay four years fees but not everyone from India has that amount of money and not even the grades to get a scholarship. </p>
<p>@intparent Its for my blog followers. They asked me this question. I’ll have to ask them first. </p>
<p>Well, US college is expensive for everyone, and financial aid for internationals is definitely harder to come by. But that is not the same as “charging higher tuition” for internationals. So please find some specific examples if you can. My kids both attended private schools that had a lot of international students, and I am not aware of a tuition or fee structure that specifically charged more for foreign students.</p>
<p>My sister attended Private college too and she payed same amount as the in-state students. I was just curious because someone commented in my blog about this issue.</p>
<p>Go to college in India or pay full in the US. Not all citizens in the US can afford college (even in state)… the last thing the government should be worrying about is making US colleges affordable for people that don’t live or pay US taxes.</p>
<p>OP–just out of curiosity, what are the arrangements in your country for international students? Are they admitted? Do they pay the same fees and tuition as nationals? are they awarded financial aid and scholarships?</p>
<p>No idea, hardly any international student consider India as an option xD @boysx3 </p>
<p>@1prettykitty thank you, I have enough money to pay college tuition fees :3</p>
<p>This discussion is not for me people.</p>
<p>It was meant as general statement for not only but others too.</p>
<p>@GeekOGreek - There is no such thing as in-state for private schools when it comes to tuition generally speaking, if not always. Only public schools have in-state and OOS tuition differentials.</p>
<p>Let’s quit the name-calling and sniping, or this thread will be closed.</p>
<p>For privates? No.</p>
<p>For publics? It gets more complicated by the taxation picture but, if not of federal taxation, they are otherwise no different from domestic out-of-staters.</p>
<p>Geekogreek, private colleges do not have the “in-state” and “out-of-state” distinction. Tuition/room & board/fees are the same for all students regardless of where they live. Public universities in the US are state institutions, so students whose families live in the state and pay taxes in that state are charged a lower rate than other students (out of state or international, usually the rates are the same for either of those). </p>
