Every college tuition is different, but here is a good article that gives you an idea of what the average U.S. college tuition is:

If you need help to pay for school you should try to get a student loan. Here's what you need to do:

1) Fill out the FAFSA. This will determine if you are eligible for financial aid. Go here:

2) Once you are eligible for aid, choose a government-based student loan. The best loan to get is a Federal Perkins Loan. These have low interest rates and the government will help you pay it back as long as you stay enrolled in school. You also don't need a cosigner or good credit for it. For more info go here:

3) The next best loan to get is a Subsidized Stafford Loan. This has many of the same benefits as a Perkins Loan. Learn more here:

You can also apply for grants and scholarships. These are free sources of money that you don't have to pay back. You can read about them here:

If you are just entering college for the first time you should live on campus, but you can live off campus if you want to. I recommend living on campus for the first year to be close to class and to meet new people.

If you get financial aid in the form of scholarships or student loans you can use it to pay for your books, meals, and even living expenses.

I hope this helps. Good luck!
FIRST mention the course you want to do
Schools vary widely in price. It would help if you mention where you would like to go.
It all depends on where you go.
