Not that its totally easy but if you have a genuine credentials and no break-ups with your academics,its not a big toil.They have new student visa policy that favours only real students and nothing else.And,you don't have to give interview and all,the visa come in a mail(great), you just need to have a good supporting documents and couple dozens lakhs in banks in paper.US has already looses its charm among new aspiring students and most of them are heading to Australia with a sure-shot believe to get visa.Not a bad idea.
