How valid is all this information for International Students?

The thing is, I'm Australian, and I'm just not sure how viable this is for non-American students.  I've searched here but couldn't really find anything on it.

As an Australian, you get an interest-free loan for your uni studies that only has to be paid off once you earn above a certain amount (around 45k-50k, I think?). Many Australian unis are also quite generous with their RPL - you can even use work experience.

Doing an American degree would be a lot more work in terms of working out credits, and cost a lot more upfront.
