SUMMARY

International students seeking low-cost tuition options in the United States for studying Physics should consider community colleges as a starting point, where costs are significantly lower, such as $179 per credit hour and $350 per month for living expenses. To transition to a four-year university, students should actively seek scholarships specifically designed for international students and maintain strong academic performance to qualify for these opportunities.

It is essential to contact prospective universities directly to inquire about available financial aid and scholarship programs.

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.
