| check out the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. The tuition is going to run close to the $15,000 you specified -- but you might be able to swing it if you share a residence (many students share a house at $300/mo with all utilities) and get a part time job (which is pretty easy to do around here).
I believe they were ranked one of the best western universities for business -- at least they are always saying they have a good business school. And we have quite a few international students on campus. |

| SUNY Geneseo has an economics major in its business school (its not an easy college to get into though) and I believe that SUNY Albany has a finance major in its business school that you should take a look at. | |

| I was interested in Indiana University-Bloomington. But the total tuition&fee is $39,433.00. Indiana University Purdue Univ. Indianapolis has $9,622 tuition, but do they offer the same well-known business degree like UI-Bloomington?
Saint Louis University seems to be a good choice.
How about the SUNYs? Which one do you suggest for finance major?

| yes, I'm an Indonesian, tomo88.. (a desperate one..for sure..) lol.
your screen name sounds Indonesian too..
Well..loan is definitely my last option. Yeah..I think SUNY is the best option..at least for now. I wish I could get higher SAT scores, so I could get a lot of chances to get scholarship. I did get pretty high TOEFL, but most univs just consider TOEFL as the English requirements. Do you know any colleges that take TOEFL as their scholarship requirements?
About SUNY Albany.. I saw a lot of threads in College Confidential writing about most of students at SUNY Albany who party Mon-Fri. I don't want that kind of college. I like party, but not a party school.

| Yes, I'm Indonesian too. Currently studying in Singapore though, applying for fall term next year.
I looked around abit. Brigham Young is indeed cheap and has the best business program for the tuition price but your current SAT score makes the university a reach. for IUPUI the tuition isn't exactly that cheap because you are an international (around 19k unless collegeboard is mistaken). However, your score is definitely competitive there and the university does have a finance/banking major. I'm not too sure about rankings though
Financial aid is hard to get for internationals, especially because the amount of endowment funds that lower tier universities get isn't that much. Usually financial aid is given to in-state students because the university is funded by local taxpayers. Furthermore, most merit scholarships consider SAT scores. So far I haven't heard of any scholarship offered for good TOEFL.
If you can afford it, I'd suggest retaking SAT and study like hell for it to make yourself more competitive. Try to work on your CR more. Remember that most colleges don't really consider writing subsection. Otherwise, I wish you all the best! | |

| wow..thx for all your reply. I really appreciate it.
I guess, I could re-take my SAT. But FYI, to get those score, I had to take SAT twice. So, would colleges even consider the third? And as far as I know, colleges want SAT score that you've taken in high school. They even don't consider SAT for people who already graduated from high school for more than 5 years. Am I right?
Grove City College has low tuition, but do they have good academics?
THX AGAIN FOR YOU ALL!! | |

| I was interested in Rutgers, but its total tuition&fee is $40000. And they don't have financial aid for F-1 students.
I'm thinking to find a small LACs with good academics and has a lot of financial aid for international students. Carleton is definitely on top of my list. But getting into Carleton isn't easy thing to do. Do you know LACs that is easy to get into (at least it fits my stats) & have generous financial aid for international students?
THX again!! | |
