15 More Affordable Schools for International Students

With the price of obtaining a visa and airplane tickets, in addition to tuition and other expenses, studying at a four-year college in the U.S. can be expensive. But international students on a tight budget shouldn’t be discouraged – there are many lower-cost options to explore. Among the 544 ranked colleges that enrolled at least 25 international students, for instance, 15 have annual total costs below $24,600, according to U.S. News data. These costs, as low as $15,560, do not account for any awarded financial aid and include tuition and fees, room and board, books and transportation. Here are the 15 U.S. schools, mostly in the Midwest, with the lowest reported total costs for international students in 2022-2023. Schools that did not report total costs for international students are excluded.
