<p>For tuition that is. Yep, it's true, after much searching, the Holy Grail, the Cheapest of the Cheap for internationals! </p>
<p>University: MSU, Minot State University MSU</a> - Enrollment Services<a href="don't%20worry%20it's%20the%20same%20price%20for%20international%20students,%20give%20or%20take%20$50">/url</a> and [url=<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minot_State_University%5DMinot">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minot_State_University]Minot</a> State University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia </p>

<p>For MSU you're covered for upto 36 credits a year and the same goes for NMJC. Now that is one hell of a deal. I think they really are the cheapest, if someone can find cheaper do share, would be happy to be proven wrong. And I mean a cheaper normal, city campus uni or cc for international students not some remote out in the sticks setup. Best deal I've come across yet. I'm in Ireland not the States but those prices put pay to the idea that you can't get a good education in the US unless you pay big bucks! Here in Ireland University is more or less free (for now)</p>
<p>Tuition and fees are one thing. Living expenses, books and materials, travel, etc. are another, and can easily be another USD 10,000 to USD 15,000 each year. When you are judging whether a college/university is affordable or not, you need to look at the factors that are included in the full Cost of Attendance, and then adjust them for your own real expected expenses.</p>
<p>Yes, you’re absolutely correct, I’m talking solely of tuition. Both the uni and cc have halls of residence, apts etc. that are priced pretty well. No matter what university or cc an international, or American, student goes to they’ll have housing (unless living at home) and general living costs on top of tuition. But of course the lower the tuition the better, especially if folks can’t get financial aid and have limited budgets. From searching that university and that cc are the cheapest for international students, that was and is the only point I was making. </p>
<p>International students can work on campus as far as I know for upto 20 hours a week or something like that and they can also after the first semester or the first academic year apply to work off campus. So between a low tuition university or cc with reasonably priced housing and meal plans (by US standards), the opportunity to work on or off campus and financial support either from savings, family members or private bank loans in the persons home country, studying in the US need not be so expensive. </p>
<p>The uni, MSU, offer a full academic year of upto 36 credit hours tuition and housing/meals for just over $10,000 per academic year. That’s not such a bad price for an international student.</p>
