You can take your core classes at a community college and then transfer to a university to complete your degree.

Community college is lower class education and qualificationd are not liked by employers.
Visa authority know this and normally refuse visa for comunity col.

Ask those your school questions on student visa thread. Got admission for a graduate program there but went for the other.

Good day.... i want advise on this. I have admission to a US school for masters this fall session and i have my F-1 visa too. I am now in the US and genuinely intend to study but i'm having difficulties with finances. I was to buy some goods for some clients and send them to Nigeria and my profit from it was what i intended using for tuition fees. But unfortunately my clients backed out and asked for a refund which i have returned to them. Now i don't have any means of paying my tuition. I'l like to seek advise from the house on what to do. What advise would you have for me in-order not to fall out of status? I do want to study but funding isn't possible now. I've been to the US twice on visits and never breached any laws..... Which Websites can i search on to see if i can get scholarships if possible or if it isn't late for this sessions

Greetings 2 all. Wana tnk y'all 4 d grt work, it shows d munificient character dat's rare dis days. I've bn getting a lot of useful tips by jst perusing tru dis thread. You pple ar wonderful. Finally took d GRE, but surprisingly fell short(294); verbal(148), quant(146). My question 2 everybody in d hux is, Is dere any hope of getting admission wit aid wit dis low scores? My CGPA is 3.78. Tho my penultimate nd final year performance was nice.

That mean you're expecting nothing from Nigeria. With the 5 to 6 times payment, I think that should buy you some time than being asked to pay everything at once. The last payment can also be carried to the next semester.

If you have a relative or friend that is a citizen or Green card holder and they trust you, you can take a student loan and ask them to cosign for you. In most cases, you can not get a scholarship in your first semester. You can get a scholarship either with your admission (prior to starting your program) or after the first semester when you have a GPA.

There are different States in the East with different costs of living. Be specific on the state even if you are gonna conceal your school name. However, i doubt if you will find a good apartment at that rate. your best bet is to be on the look out for a roommate so both of you can share the apartment rent and other utility bills - electricity, water, internet etc

That state is expensive oo. Never been there but wait let Lisadem answer you. New York, Florida, California, Illinois and Massachusetts are very expensive for sure.
