The US doesn't really have many options. A precious few *do* give financial aid to the top international students, but other than that, the options are slim.

Community colleges would probably be a good option for your first two years. Tuition is in the range of $5K per year for an international student. Four-year state schools are probably closer to your range of $10-15K, but I suspect that you wanted to eat during your studies.

Graduate school is a much more affordable option, since there are more options available for financial aid, and stipends, while not universal, are common.

Then there are more options. As I said, any community college would do, as would some state schools. I'm in CA, and the CSU system would be within your price range, but the UC system would not.

I can't help but think that local options probably give an equivalent education for less money though.

Yup, CSU is cheap.

http://www.csufresno.edu/catoffice/current/fees.html for example. Although the budget situation in California is blowing up and tuition increases and admission freezes are looking to be very serious right now.

The budget situation works in the OP's favor though. Get a few more international students coming through who pay the big bucks!

Most of the Canadian Universities are in that range (once you factor in the difference between US and Canadian $). Differential tuition (because you're international) is somewhere between 100-200% of domestic tuition (that's what you pay on TOP of what the Canadians / permanent residents will pay).

High quality education with not so bad living costs.

All of Swedens education is free even for foreigners, but undergraduate studies are usually in Swedish. Most masters and upwards are taught 100% in English though.

UCLA's tuition fee (without the extra fees) is about 8K dollars annually.

Yeah, I know that, but apparently the OP is just concerned about the "main" tuition fee

I think people don't really distinguish between tuition and fees, both have to be paid right? :P

I just estimated this from my local CC: http://www.deanza.edu/international/admission.html#cost, thinking others would be similar. I'll quote:

"It is $1,716 per quarter based on 12 units (full time) quarterly, or $5,148 per year for three quarters."

As for UCLA: http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/fees/fall09fee.htm. For a non-resident, the manditory fees (no housing or food) would be $10,606.71 *per quarter*.

Mount Allison, Saint Francis Xavier and Acadia are all within the range you specify, as well as being among the 4 best "primarily undergraduate" universities in Canada, according to Maclean's.
