It’s not a simple thing. You really need some personal tie like ancestry or marriage, go to a university, or be sponsored for work.
I don't think that's true. Granted I am from here but just to come and start to work us citizens find it way easier than other nationals. Take it in small steps. Most countries allow you to apply for citizenship after 5 years. You just have to find work and accommodation. Some countries do require proof of ancestry like Ireland but there are many others that dont. Some even have free universities like the Nederland or Germany and they teach in English.
I may not know all the subtleties so don't quote me on that!
Unies are usually not free for non-citizens. At least not where I live.
i am not saying all all free but you can find free if you need to:

and even if you don't find, the tuitions costs are lower than US and even UK now. have a look maybe you can find something that peaks your interest. the rest of the world is a lot more diverse than the US.
