There are scholarships available, (edit: Another comment said since your euro you pay fully out of pocket, they probably know better)

Students are usually baristas, shop workers, or part time workers around those lines.

I do not know which visa you would need, but I would guess a student visa.

Pennsylvania is pretty safe depending where you move. By Penn state you should be fine, Philadelphia however is a cesspool and not safe at all. However Philadelphia is the major metropolitan with city lights, shows, fine dinning and wine, etc.

Is life expensive, yes and no. Cheaper places to live but PA isn't California or New York. Quality of life and comfort levels are subjective so hard to say. The median income in PA is just under 73k/yr.

Another state as a suggestion, that is a very tough question. Pennstate is in the middle of PA so another state means another school. At that point I would say which prestigious university interests you.

I will say perhaps Ohayo university? it seems to me reasonable but i have a question the students who are in debt and don’t succeed in their studies, how do they do? I mean, some of them end up with 100k of debt

Ohio is worse off than PA in too many ways to count. School will be expensive everywhere. Students live together and work minimum wage jobs to get by, sometimes 2 or 3 jobs, on top of loans and scholarships if they were lucky enough to get one.

They pay for it for the rest of their lives. College can be a huge financial trap for the unwise. I would suggest you pick a good well paying career / course of study, and stick with it.

Another option, which probably isn't appealing but is financially great, is to serve in the U.S. military. Nothing serious, if your smart go into the airforce. After 4 years of active service you will be given a U.S. citizenship and they will pay for your college education. They will pay for you to go to college while your in, then give you four years worth of college after you get out of the service.
