Also, education here in the US does have its pros and cons. First of all, as an international, you would likely have to pay 3x the normal tuition for public schools, and you would probably not get any financial aid for privates. Tuition would most likely be 35k/year, plus housing for 12k/year. Just something to think about. However, campus resources are usually good because of this: good HR, good professors, school spirit, free gyms, etc. Also, school shootings are not that common. Pretty sure you have higher chance of getting hit by a car or something.
Unless you go to , at the very least, a state flagship, I would say it is not worth it. I would say a state flagship, such as UC Berkeley, UNC Chapel Hill, or UCLA, one that is well known, is worth the debt, or if the university has a particularly strong field in what you want to study. I would not go into deep debt for Kent Wood University in Tennessee or something, but definitely DEFINITELY Ivy League level schools and schools that have a name so people will not be asking what it is. (i.e.: don't be going to Kent State University or something, cuz where is dat, and literally wut)
