Answer by Chuckles You may still be able to get US student loans if the school is on the approved list of international schools. You can also get school aid if the school is a private school. However, publically owned foreign schools do not give aid to foreign undergraduate students.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 29, 2011
Last year default rates on student loans reached their highest levels reported since 1999, increasing from 7% the previous year to 8.8%, according to Chris Spurlock of the Huffington Post. A U.S. Department of Education study noted even higher default rates among students graduating from for-profit colleges, from 11.6% in 2008 to 15% in 2009. To address these issues the NFEC is launching their new college financial literacy program in January 2012.
