The World looks at the price of higher education for international students in the United States in this special podcast. American universities make the US the No. 1 choice among students from abroad. But nowhere else is tuition as expensive, leaving many people in debt. Universities depend upon international students’ high tuition fees to balance their books since foreign students can't rely on federal aid. To realize their dreams, some people are starting off by going to community colleges for the first two years. Others are finding creative ways to cut costs elsewhere, like shared living arrangements. Some even work under the table to make ends meet. We also look into students who face visa processing delays even after being accepted to US colleges.
