Affordable Universities in USA for International Students

This forum has been really helpful to me thus far and I am asking you guys to help me again. Can you folks suggest affordable unis in USA for international students? I have searched a lot, but the cost goes over my budget. I can afford 45k all-in. Thank you very much for being helpful! :)

45k a year? And are we talking about undergraduate schooling here? There are not many good schools that fall into that range, not counting any financial aid you might get. I believe that University of Texas, Indiana University, and University of North Carolina are affordable according to your budget. Both schools are target schools within their respective regions and are at least semi-targets nationally. If you are OK with going to school that is a non-target nationally but has some decent recruiting within its area, consider BYU (all Mormon school though), Texas A&M, University of Florida, Georgia Tech, and Purdue.

Of course, if you do receive some financial aid, your list of potential options expands.
