Hello! This is gonna be abit long so buckle up

I am currently 17 (turning 18 in september) I currently and have always live(d) in France and was born there from an American mom and a French dad, I myself detain both nationality and therefore am an official US citizen since birth (passport, abroad birth certificate and all other type of paperwork my mom may have had to do).

Despite being in France and being surrounded with French culture, I've grown up as very American (mostly because my parents divorced when I was 4, and my mom got way more custody of me than my dad). This lifestyle has made me want to move back to America and this has been a wish I've been expressing to my mom ever since I could communicate, tho she'd like too, it's complicated for her financially and for other reasons, so this is a dream I'm pursuing alone. I should also note that I have quite a family in America, Texas (way more than I do in France, so I do miss them tons) so I know having family there can help moving out easier. It's worth mentioning I've been to America multiple times before, most recent time being summer of 2022.

Now, in september (2026) I will be entering university in France (CS, would like to get a Masters) which is a grace for me, because here in France, it will cost me 0€, and university has been one of the biggest blocking points for me at that age.

With all of that cleared, I want to know, how could I realistically move to America ? How would I manage the university situation ? How much would it cost me (assuming I'm moving to Texas) ? What should I be aware of ?

Thanks in advance for anyone who will answer me, I will be answering any questions. I am making this post a bit desperately, I feel a bit home sick lol

I need support. I acvidentaly created a regular Revolut account with my phone number because I didn't realize it was different from the <18 app, please answer me support :)
