The problem that Nathan would be hitting were he to study there is
that he'd be dealing with non-resident fees.  Based on the above
pages, these seem to be roughly double the cost of resident tuition
fees (about $6000US per semester) and he might hit even higher fees as
a non-US citizen.  Canadian public universities would probably cost
him around $2500CDN per semester for tuition.
