I am going to go to university there, and hopefully get a Bachelor's Degree in Hotel/Hospitality Management and I really, really want to work there afterwards! and live there for the rest of my life. is it easy to become a citizen? or to get the work permit? I am Brazilian, I am fluent in 5 languages... etc (not sure if that helps) I know you have to either marry an american citizen or win the green card lottery thing. But is there any other way? please help...

While you are on a student visa and studying, there's nothing you can do. If you were to marry an American, you would still have to go through the immigration process to be allowed to remain as a resident in the US. If you applied as an immigrant after finishing school, you'd have to return to Brazil to get the visa (a green card) and return to the US and live for 5 years before you could become a citizen. If you married an American and got an immigrant visa, you'd only need 3 years before you could become a citizen. There is no other way--marry or green card. You could, of course, just go to Mexico and cross the border illegally along with other Mexicans (it's pretty easy) and just stay in the US forever.
You do know, however, that you do not have to become a citizen to remain in the US? Once you have a green card, it is good forever (unless you commit some crime) and allows you to stay and work and live and do whatever you want--except vote in elections.

ya you can get a visa first and then when you get there marry someone and he/she'll hook you up with a greencard and 3 years after that youbecome a US citizen.But don't tell the visa officier that you wanna become a US citizen they won't give you a visa.
another option is to go to mexico and swim your way to the US but you might die or get shot at but if your desperate i guess it's an option.
