Schools in North America having same fees for international students

In summary, the person is asking for suggestions for schools with low tuition fees in Canada and the US for their friend who is studying computer science/engineering and wants to apply for MS. They mention finding a school in Canada (www.sfu.ca) with the same fees for domestic and international students and ask for other similar schools in Canada and the US. They also suggest considering ETH Zurich in Switzerland for its value-for-money for international students.

Hello

My friend is studying computer science/engineering and wants to apply to Canada and US for MS.
Of course he is looking for schools with low tuition fees. Can you suggest some ? One of the schools
(www.sfu.ca) he found in Canada has same fees for domestic and international students. Are there
other such schools in Canada ? Also suggest schools in US with low tuition fees.

Thanks

Not North America, but do consider ETH Zurich in Switzerland, which I consider to have the best value-for-money for international students among the top universities in the world. Living costs in Switzerland does take away some of this edge, but it's still 2 orders of magnitude cheaper to study there than any location in N.A. that I can imagine.
 

What is the purpose of having the same fees for international students in North American schools?

How are the fees for international students determined in North American schools?

These fees are usually set by the school administration or governing body.

What is the impact of having the same fees for international students on the diversity of North American schools?

This creates a diverse and inclusive learning environment for all students.

Are there any exceptions to the same fees for international students in North American schools?

While most North American schools have the same fees for international students, there may be exceptions for certain programs or schools. For example, some schools may offer scholarships or financial aid specifically for international students, which would result in different fees for those students. Additionally, there may be differences in fees for graduate or professional programs compared to undergraduate programs.

How do North American schools ensure that international students are not charged unfairly?

To ensure that international students are not charged unfairly, North American schools have policies and regulations in place to monitor and regulate fees for all students. Additionally, international students can seek support and guidance from their school's international student office if they have any concerns about their fees or financial situation.
