<p>Your ability to get more FA in this country is very small. Private aid here is mostly for domestic students. What can you get from your own country?</p>
<p>As an int’l, your ability to work in the US will be very limited. </p>
<p>You won’t even be given your VISA until you show that you have all funds for college…including all room, board, personal expense, and travel money.</p>
<p>On your school’s website, it should indicate how much your family will need to show that they have to spend on your college costs. </p>
<p>How much will your family pay each year?</p>
