Why not go home and go to college? I'm sorry, but I don't think an illegal immigrant should have a remote chance of attending college here. I truly wish you well. However, don't further drain our resources.

You can be accepted to most public universities without regard to your citizenship status. However, you won't be eligible for any type of state or federal aid, and will be classified as an international student (with very high fees) until you become a citizen.
I feel that some people have given very ignorant responses to your question. Many people do not understand that a person cannot do much about his/her own citizenship status until they reach age 18, and at that point, it takes YEARS to complete the process. I don't believe that a person should have to put off college just because his/her parents made the choice to bring them here under less-than-ideal circumstances. Further, I would rather see immigrants to the US enter young adulthood as college-educated citizens who will make positive contributions to our country.
JoseM, good luck to you. There are colleges and universities here that WANT to help you succeed.

I dont think you can. If for some reason you can, they would charge out of state fees. In most other countries higher education is almost free, so why not go to your country?

I sincerely hope not. Go to the consulate and apply for legal status in this country.

That's a tough decision and I can't answer that. The best choice for you would be to apply for a student visa..it could be difficult and take a lot of time...good luck!
