UCSD will cost you $55k per year which is $240,000 for four years. Repayment will probably take you decades (20 to 30 years) not a few years. It is a California public school which provides no financial aid nor scholarships to nonresidents since funding comes from California taxpayers.

Taking out loans, if you were able to find someone to lend that amount, is ridiculous and not worth the struggle.

You are not eligible for US federal loans and you won’t be eligible to work in the US, either during school nor after your graduation. So the question is, how will your parents repay those loans in Pakistan? You won’t be immigrated just because you were admitted to a US university; you’ll return to your country after your studies.
