if there is States like Oregon that don't charge Out of State and Out of Coutry fees?

Are you sure? The University of Oregon has separate tuitions for in-state and out-of-state ... resident tuition & fees $6,174 vs. nonresident/international tuition & fees $19,338</p>
<p>I have my Japaneze friend who is going to the Eastern Oregon University and he told me that he didn't have to pay out of state fees. That's why he went there.
I just checked and the out-of-state is for US citizen. However the tuition and fees is not that expensive as many fees included can be reduced:
Intl</a> Student Estimated Costs
Room and Board: instead of staying on campus, there is a possibility to rent an appartement off-campus and that will be cheaper.
Transportation: they have free public transportation there, so I don't understand where the $864 comes fom.
Personal Expenses: if taking an apprtemnt it would be mixed with the fees for your rent.
Or if you want stay on campus, you can apply for scholarships. They have the Tuition scholarships offered to all enrolled EOU students...if it helps</p>
<p>But i talked about it with my Advisor and she told me that there are actually states(i forgot the name) in US who do not count out of country fees for int. students. I google it but i don't see nothing like that. I just found that The Private Universities treat US Citizen and International Students the same way, as the Tuition and Fees are the same.</p>
<p>Do we then have to look for Private Institutions?</p>
<p>Oh and I found this online:
"In the U.S., public institutions (i.e., state or land-grant institutions) receive primary funding from the local government, which is supported by taxes which the residents pay. Since a resident of Arkansas is paying taxes in Arkansas, the student of that family has a reduced tuition rate at the public institutions in Arkansas. However, a student from Nebraska who wants to attend the same school would have to pay the Out-of-State tuition rate; same deal for international students.</p>
<p>This is only the case at public institutions. Private colleges and universities do not charge different tuition rates for in-state, out-of-state, or international students.</p>
<p>Some public institutions, in an effort to attract more international students so as to diversify their student body, will offer out-of-state tuition waivers for certain target countries, meaning the students from that country wouldn't need to pay the in-state tuition rate. For example, students from Mexico have an out-of-state tuition waiver at public colleges and universities in Texas within an established distance from the border (called the PASE program).</p>
<p>Whether you're applying to a public or a private university, always ask about financial aid opportunities. Just keep in mind that not all public institutions are able to offer scholarships for international students, but maybe they can offer tuition discounts."</p>
<p>It kinda explain what i wanted to say...If it helps.</p>

That's indeed true as there is no in-state "discount" for private institutes. Another way to look at it is that everyone pays out-of-state tuitions and fees.</p>
<p>@Kalieta</p>
<p>So can you name some of those public schools that offer in-state tuitions for Int'l students?</p>
<p>I don't know if University of Tulsa would favour international students or not?
BTW, I am always curious about Ivy quality as compared to those biggest guys in Europe such as Cambridge, Oxford, London University, University of Paris??? Must be interesting, ha, ha</p>

<p>A while ago, I found the ranking list online and I remember it listed Harvard as #1, then Cambridge #2, Oxford#3, and I think it was followed by Yale?
Most of the Ivies were in top 10, and if they weren't they were definitely in top 20, I think. I don't know what year that was, though.</p>
<p>Now I googled some world college rankings and seems like the situation has changed!</p>
<p>World top 100: <a href="http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/rank/2007/ARWU2007_Top100.htm%5B/url%5D">http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/rank/2007/ARWU2007_Top100.htm</a></p>
<p>More of past rankings at: [url=<a href="http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/ranking.htm%5Darwu%5B/url">http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/ranking.htm]arwu[/url</a>]</p>
<p>I don't know how accurate they are, though.</p>
<p>I just heard that Lehigh University is trying to attract more international undergraduate students. Don't go on past acceptances, since this seems to be a new initiative.</p>
<p>The aid Lehigh offers is just not enough. Or are they increasing the aid offered too?</p>
<p>IVY and MIT need blind? thats amazing...not that i am desperate for a scholarship yet...its relieveing to know no one has an added advantage coz they can pay a lot. But i guess it goes more than just stats for these unis.
any int'l who was accepted/applied to ivy/mit ??</p>
<p>I couldn't read the entire thread, but if it hasn't yet been mentioned, investigate Oberlin College, in Ohio, which grants some merit or need-blind aid to international students as well as domestic. It is a very fine LAC(Liberal Arts College), not a university. You only are taught by professors, not graduate teaching assistants for course sections. The number of courses and majors is smaller than at a university, but if you see your desired major on the course catalogue, investigate the courses offered to see if there's enough choice for you. Many prefer the small size of the LAC at the age of l8 for personal attention and community. Then they continue on to universities for graduate school. A strong LAC prepares you extremely well for graduate school, particularly if the class sizes are small as is often the case at an LAC. </p>
<p>ALSO Read old CC threads comparing "universities versus LAC's" for more discussion, to see if an LAC option is right for you. Then see the USNews and World Reports ranking for Liberal Arts colleges, to see where they stand relative to each other.</p>
<p>Ohio Wesleyan University gives loads of money (perhaps more than it should) to internationals:
Ohio</a> Wesleyan University Attracts High Number Of International Scholars</p>
<p>UTaustin....MountHolyoke...smith....tufts....marquette...grinell...suny plattsburg...ohio wesleyan...brown...oberlin...
these places offer the mosttt aid .. esp if you are a female from an international place and applying in mountholyoke and smith then u pretty much get everything going for you.
