Depending on what country you want to study in, if its the UK then yes, you would need a student visa, and the University fees would be higher for you.

hello
how long did you do your eng. and when did you dicontinue?
if you had worked right after plus two then you may not have a problem in visa for pursuing undergrads as long as you have your toefl and sat score and enough financial background.
If you have discontinued after 1 or 2 years study then you have to be able to explain to the visa officer why you discontinued and also convince him that you were right in doing so and establish that with work exp, you have some career and educational goals which prompted you to seek higher education in usa.
all the best

If you are already accepted by a community college, they would issue an I-20 for you to take to the local U.S. Embassy in support for your application for a F-1 Visa. The fact that you are a drop out is not determinitive in it of itself. What you will need to be prepared to do is to show that you meet the F1 category visa. For example, in addition to the I-20 from the school, you will need to show some sort of permanent address you intend to keep in India. You will also need to show you have something in India that will encourage you to return when you complete your studies, such sufficient bank account you keep in India, or family or jobs waiting for you in India. Furthermore, you will need to show you will have sufficient funds available for you to use during your years of study. No amount of funds is required, it should be suficient to cover your tuition and reasonable living expenses. The most important thing to remember during your interview with the U.S. Embassy personnell is to make sure you absolutely want to return to Indian as soon as you finish studying. Otherwise, they will reject your application. Good Luck.

if you want to study in the US you can probably get a student visa. ask the college and immigration on the specifics. the fact that you dropped out before shouldn't matter if your already admitted.
