The USA is the most popular country for international students. But along with being the most popular, it is also one of the most expensive destinations to pursue your education from. As if this wasn’t enough, the USD currency has become stronger now more than ever, which increases the cost of studying in the country. It is better to have a prior understanding of the cost distribution of studying in the USA, so you can plan your budget accordingly.
Various different factors contribute to the cost of studying abroad. However, here is a guide to understanding the basic underlying costs of studying in the USA that every student must incur.
USA has four different types of educational institutions. This is the first and foremost criterion that can make a major difference in your total cost.
