You'll need to jump through a bunch of hoops to get a student visa, but it's absolutely possible! (it also cost a bunch of money right off the bat)

What might be a bit harder for you is working. The usual student visas don't really allow for off-campus employment, and even on-campus it's usually restricted to something like twenty hours a week during school season.

To start you need to actually pick a college and apply, and when you're accepted they'll send you a form confirming your acceptance and that will get the ball rolling etc etc.

this site will help - http://www.educationusa.info/

this one has some helpful info - http://studyusa.com/en/a/33/how-to-get-your-u-s-student-visa

this one's about working - http://www.internationalstudent.com/study_usa/way-of-life/working-in-the-usa/

Hope this helps you! America is pretty great imo :911:

edit: don't worry too much about being by yourself. People here love seeing people coming to study from other countries! You'll be totally fine as long as you're not super rude or anything. (i'm from Texas, though, so you might not get the same warm reception from those drat yankees up north :v:)

Some schools are a bit cheaper/offer financial aid, but even then it's going to be drat expensive, and there isn't much of a point to coming all the way here for some community college :(

What were you hoping to major in? Picking a well-regarded school is just as important as finding an affordable one.

I'll do this SAT test for sure. If my score sucks, or is average, I'll just let it slide and probably go to the US in my exchange program year.

This here sounds like a great idea. I don't know much about exchange programs though. How much flexibility do you get when choosing schools to exchange to?

Duke (North Carolina), Texas A&M, UT at Austin, the University of Virginia, and Vanderbilt University (Tennessee) are all schools that have good economics programs, from what I've heard. Of course, you have a huge amount of options!
