<p>Hello there. I'm confused about the cost of the tuition fee that an international student would have to pay enrolling in any university in the US; I've noticed that if an US resident applies for an university that is not apart of the current state where the student is resident, they'll have to pay a considerable additional cost. Now, my question is: an international student, considering that is not a resident in the USA and thus in any of the different states, is gonna have to pay the additional cost for any university or not? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Don’t mind the grammar form of my question, I’m a bit tired :P</p>
<p>With a few minor exceptions, public state universities charge higher tuition to non-residents of the state because they exist primarily to educate state residents and are funded by the state’s taxpayers. International students are treated like any other non-residents.</p>
<p>International students also have to pay a separate fee that is used bu Int.office for monitoring the students’ status but it’s not that much </p>
I see. Does that only count for public state universities though? @MommaJ
Do you know if that applies to all of the universities (both public and private too)? And about how much would it be approximately? @paul2752 Thanks.
Generally speaking, fees at private universities are the same for any student - domestic or international.
