Low cost tuition universities for international students in the US?

In summary, the conversation discusses the affordability of studying as an international student at a community college versus a four-year university in the United States. The tuition and living costs at a community college are relatively low, but four-year universities can be expensive. The suggestions for finding affordable options include searching for scholarships and working hard to qualify for them, as well as looking for opportunities to assist in labs.

Hi,

I am an international student and currently studying at community college. The tuition and living cost is pretty low here. One credit hour costs me $179 (international student), and one month living (meal+housing) costs $350.
However, four year universities are pretty much expensive. I just want to know if there is any low cost university for international students in the United States to study Physics?

Thank you!

To the OP. Your best bet would be to look around for scholarships and work hard on your grades so you qualify for them. I'm sure many universities have special scholarships for international students. You may want to call around and ask at your universitues of choice. And of course, sometimes undergrads get hired to help out in labs, so just search around for opportunities. It's difficult to assist in more specific ways, as prices vary a lot from state to state.
