Scholarships and grants are a great way to do this, and a lot of universities offer scholarships aimed at international students. Additionally, you'll need the help of your parents and any savings you have. Be prepared to get a job (if you can get a visa) and pay some of your own expenses. You can apply for private loans online and they should offer typical student loan terms like flexible repayment, as well as there being no need to secure the loan against your property. Have you tried contacting potential universities to ask what they could offer you?
