this is the voa special english education report
today we answer a question from a listener in colombia John Anderson wants to know thw costs of undergraduate and graduate in the united states  well the first thing to know is that  prices are different from school to school  private colleges and universities  generally cost more than public ones another thing to keep in mind is that not all students pay  a school's published price financial aid and scholarships may reduce the cost
here are a few numbers for the school year from the college board orgnization  the averaged published price for  undergraduate study in a 4-year  college was about 7000 dollars  that was for students in state  students in other states  as well as  international students paid an average of  more than 18,000 dollars this is the bad news  international students often have to pay  the highest prices  and these average are only for tuitions and fees  food housing and books supply can add 10 to 12 thousand dollars a year the college board says the average  tuition at a private college was about 26,ooo dollars
many students saving money by starting their education at a 2-year public college  also know as a community college  the average tuition this year  was about 2500 dollars  a few american colleges  provide a free education  including military and merchant marine academies may accepted some foreign students  college is a small school  that pays all first year costs  for it's foreign students   but they are expected to pay  1000 dollars  a year  after that summer job  are provided to help provide this costs
cosat for graduate study  in the united states also differ from  school to school and even  from program to program  here too public universities charge  more for out  of  state tuition  for example at the university of   out of state tuition averaged about 18,000 dollars  this year  in state was about  9,000 dollars  american students often have to take loans to help pay their education  president obama recently signed into law  a bill changed the student's loan system
