Picking a College
Feel free to work with an advisor for this, but as a starting point, look at BigFuture's website.
Community Colleges that invite international students are numerous. (Community colleges are 2-year colleges, and you can enter them at any stage after high school. Then you can earn a 2-year Associate's degree, and then often you can transfer into a 4-year university to complete a Bachelor's degree in approximately 2 more years. These colleges are safe schools to apply to, typically, if you can find the financing. Financing community college with scholarships can be more challenging than higher levels of education). Here are just a couple of community colleges that are known for welcoming international students.
