Answer 4

Enroll as an international student in a qualified US educational institution.  They will send you a document called I-20.

You take the I-20 to the US embassy or consulate in your country and apply for an F-1 student visa.  (NOT CANADIANS they don't need an F-1)

You will be interviewed by a US consular officer.  You must prove you can afford the expenses of your education, lodging and meals.  You will have to convince the US consular officer that you will not stay in the United States upon graduation... that you'll come home.

Canadians can simply present the I-20 at the US border.  The CPB Officer will give them an I-94 with a departure date that should be long enough to cover their stay in the United States.

Please understand, tuition for international students is going to be astronomical..... it's not cheap.
