Currently I'm a Canadian citizen and student, I intend to goto university in Canada also. I'd like to eventually transfer to a U.S. school for my MBA. The costs from most of the universities will be too much for me as an internaational student, I was wondering to get American school fees do you have to be an American citizen, or just hold a residence in the U.S.

In the event I need to be a U.S. citizen, how long would it take me to get a U.S. citizenship?

green card or citizenship

you can get your green card only thru mariage or thru visa lottery (very hard)

citizenship =5 years after you get your green card

otherwise you have to pay as an international student over or arround $15K year
high league school more expensive (mit, harvard etc)

A student visa is easy to get. Check out the schools in Florida because of the large immigrant population there they have more lenient rules.

You don't even have to be hot. As long as all the equipment is where it should be you should be fine.

Here we don't have American versus non-american rates for the public schools.
Its done by in-state tuition (cheaper) versus out of state citizen (regular rate). To get the cheaper rate you need to be a citizen of the state, I'm not sure if you need citizenship, green card, or anything for that.

But its not national here.

btw beside the tuition usualy as an international student you must have arround $10k in your bank account in order to prove you are able to support yourself

it doesn't matter if someone you know sponsores you You still need the money in your bank

at the University of California, we have resident fees, out of state fees and international fees. i'm sure it works the same for graduate level schools
