Yeah, I can “pay” both Cal Poly and UW’s cost of attendance, but it’s just that I will have to pay them back upon my graduation (I am borrowing money from my parents and relatives). I am an international student from South Korea, and unfortunately, all of my options in Korea are very limited and unviable.
When you say “do not expect to stay in the US after graduation,” are you saying that it is almost impossible to get an H-1 Visa by getting a job? As far as I know, there is no policy that requires South Korean international students to return after graduation. Also, I have no intention of going back to my home country for getting a job; my plan is to get a job in the US after graduating from college.
