Finding suitable public school for international student

Thank you for your answers.

Here is my suggestion…move to a state where the public universities are plentiful…and top notch. My suggestions would be North Carolina (UNC, NC State, UNC campuses all over, for starters), Virginia (Lots of excellent public options there), maybe Texas.

I don’t know the “rules” for Bright Futures…how long you need to reside in FL to qualify…but maybe @twoinanddone can clarify that.

I mention these because the costs to live in these states would likely be more affordable than some other places. Having an affordable public college option isn’t a bad thing. Your sister can still apply elsewhere, but those instate publics have the potential to be more affordable.

California has a lot of great public universities…but the cost to live there is very high.

Another possibility is New York. The SUNY system is very modestly priced, and if you don’t live in the great NYC area, it could be affordable.
