The cost difference between public universities and private universities;
From a folk point of view, the biggest difference between public universities and private universities is that the financial strength of public universities is not as strong as that of private universities, and the cost of public universities is relatively lower than that of private universities. The main reason for this phenomenon is based on American education policy. Public universities mainly rely on the government's education budget, and more are state universities in the state, so their establishment is more based on the popularization of university education. Private universities have strong financial support and donations from graduates and entrepreneurs. At the same time, their high tuition fees also have the effect of maintaining a strong financial foundation.

American public universities have various restrictions on granting scholarships to international students, while private universities, especially liberal arts colleges (mostly private), have relatively strong funds and are likely to provide scholarships to international students.
Although the cost of each school is different, in general, the cost of studying abroad in most public universities is lower than that in private universities. In addition, liberal arts colleges are basically composed of private universities, so the total cost is close to the standards of private universities.
