Hi, thanks for your reply. Messaging the admissions office has been one of the things with the most priority in my "To-do" list when doing my research, but I just want to learn a little more on my eligibilities before I do so. So there is a chance for me to profit from in-state tuition? Can that happen after the first year or is that a very long process? Also the person who is accommodating me told me that she can find me a job in the commercial center where she works as a manager, however, can I, as a new international student work? Am I allowed? Do I need any special visa, or whatever? Also, what type of visa do I need to get to go there? Some sort of student visa? Does this give me any restrictions? And one last thing, I read somewhere that only national students can get aid, with the except of refugees, victims of human traffic, etc. I don't fall in any of this category, does that mean that I can't apply for an aid at all? Thank you very much again.

Hi everyone! I have dreamed of studying abroad ever since I can remember, and recently luck knocked on my door, a very close relative of mine is willing to accommodate and provide the basic living needs (food, electricity, basically everything) for me, all I have to worry about is paying the tuition. She lives in Columbus, OH and she told me that I can get employed where she works, so that I can work on weekends and pay some of the cost. However, I live in Southeast Europe and I am not sure how much do I have to pay for tuition each year. I plan to go to a community college and I am trying to calculate the approximate amount of money it's going to cost me each year, but there are some things that I need your help understanding. Here's the link of the site's calculator: http://www.cscc.edu/about/calculator.shtml When completing the questionnaire, it asks: Living arrangement: 1. Where do you plan to live while attending this institution? [ ]Living on my own or with a roommate [ ]Living with my parents or other family members 2.Residency: [ ]Eligible for in-state tuition [ ]Eligible for out-of-state tuition The part in bold confuses me. I am not born in that state, obviously (I don't have neither a Green Card, nor a permanent Visa), but I WILL live with her. Which option should I choose? I will live in Ohio and I will proceed the studies to the aforementioned place, which is in the same state. Is this an in-state tuition or out-of-state tuition? Next thing, that might sound dumb and sorry if it does-it says on the College's website that scholarships are offered as well, and being a really good student I want to make use of this. But since I'm applying for a financial aid, can I win a scholarship as well or not? How will the total price of the yearly tuition be reduced if I win both the scholarship and the financial aid? Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.
