Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
your best bet to is ask the school, they are really used to foreign students. do not ask them if you have to become a citizen. you don't, people work and live in greece and are not changing their citizenship. (this is not a college level question). taxes-are you looking for a job or for education (you pay normal consumers tax, but not a income tax)? drivers license-are you bringing your car with (no, the answer to this question is no). good questions:
where can you live, can you take classes in english, which classes do they offer, how long can you stay, how long does it take (on average) to get a student visa, what is the cost of living, is the local transportation good, how do you get in (what are the requirments). i went to school in europe aswell.
When in rome, do as the romans. (try the food, learn the language, appricate the fact that the single buildings are older than the whole of america)

I knew a girl from Japan who came to the US to study .. I believe she had a visa. There are also many dancers who travel on performance visas. As far as costs go, I think it depends on the school :P

No, you wouldn't have to become a citizen, you'd just be a student. I'm sure theres some steps you have to take and papers filed, etc. I'm not sure about all that, you'd have to get in contact wit the school and find out. You can get your license traded out. Basically, the school should be able to tell you everything you need to know and will be much more help.
