Assuming first off you got the visa and everything. Make sure you are able to pay the 11K. Most colleges require paying upfront for the students so you might not have time to earn the money and pay the fees on time. Just make sure you are able to survive the first sem or a year. Everything will be under your control after two sems. The money from the first year will be necessary for transfer to next college. And you wont necessarily be seeking help from your parents given you work and study.
