Costs of a U.S Education
赴美留学费用 Tuition:
Most states charge a higher "non resident" rate to international students, and classes often have additional fees attached to them. For example, in science and art classes, lab and equipment fees are usually separate and must be paid at the beginning of each term. Additionally, schools often have several fees associated with student life. These can include fees for identification cards and activities and other payments that should be clearly outlined by the school bore you arrive.
Books and Supplies:
You are responsible for paying for books, notebooks, computer accessories and other study supplies. Almost every school offers significant savings on books and materials to students through a bookstore or student plan. It is not always necessary to take a computer with you. Many institutions offer class information on line.
Housing and Food:
Most students choose a dormitory or residence hall for at least the first academic year. Dorm rooms are usually shared by two or more people, which is a great way to make friends and have someone to explore your college or university with. Housing is also available on many campuses for married students. Residence halls and dorms charge a housing fee for each term with a separate fee for food. Keep in mind that rural areas are often much less expensive than larger cities. The fees for accommodation and food are generally charged at the beginning of the academic year or term in one sum. In larger cities and English language institutes, students can live more economically off campus. Rental agreements in the U.S. often include first and last month’s rent plus a "security deposit" or "cleaning fee."
Personal Expenses:
Of course you will need all of the things you usually need at home, such as grooming aids, stamps, newspapers and medicine, as well as money for laundry, dry cleaning, transportation, recreation, entertainment and so on. Carrying large amounts of cash is not advised anywhere in the U.S. You will probably be able to set up a bank account and apply for credit cards if you have good credit in your home country.
Medical Insurance:
Health insurance is essential in the U.S., and most schools require you to purchase it when you enroll. Medical expenses can be very high. The insurance provides a very helpful guarantee that you will not have to bear the costs alone.
Most schools have a plan specifically designed for international students and their families. Expect to pay at least five hundred dollars a year for an individual and up to two hundred dollars per month for a family.
美提前留学签证签发时间 延长为开学前120天
美国进一步放宽为外国学生提前签发入境签证的时间。美国国务院2月14日宣布，
留学生签证的签发时间将从以往的提前90天延长到可在开学前120天。今年美国签证形势整体开始发生转变，敏感专业的审查周期从以前的长达两个月缩短到2~3周，且因专业审查而遭遇申请失败的人数极少。但是，如果申请者所学的专业属于敏感专业，为了能按时到达学校，一定要提早向所在辖区的大使馆或者领事馆申请签证。
美国国务院说，这项计划由三部分组成，其宗旨是在保障安全的同时继续欢迎人们来美访问。该计划的具体目标是：改进技术，提高工作效率，继续表示美国的热情友好；完善21世纪的旅行文件；为来访者入关开创“智能查验”程序。
根据新的办法，对于申请F-1(学生签证)、F-2(F-1配偶或子女)签证、M-1(职业培训)、M-2(M-1配偶或子女)签证第一次入境的学生和人员，现可在学习项目开始前最多120天签发入境签证。
美国国务院表示：“新办法体现了我们要求加强保护我国边界，坚决保障我国公民和来访者安全的承诺，同时采取重大措施保证开放国门，继续欢迎希望来美访问、求学或从事商务活动的人员。”
美国国务院解释说，新办法仅适用于第一次入境美国的学生。在读生只要能保持学生身份，在SEVIS系统的学生和交流访问者情况没有失效，可随时申请新的F类或M类签证，J-1(交流访问者)及J-2(J-1配偶或子女)签证可在有关项目开始前任何时间签发。
美国国务卿赖斯在宣布这项联合计划时指出，美国正积极努力，要求继续向外国来访者开放，重点是为今后来美学生发放签证。
