Is it possible to study in the United States on a nonimmigrant visa?

The answer is yes, because the type of Visa students typically apply for to finish their studies is a nonimmigrant visa known as the F1 Visa.

If you want to stay after your studies/Visa expires, you can apply for an immigrant visa for permanent residence to change your status.
