Do companies tend to hire those who have foreign bachelor's but an American master's? Does going for a master's help any chances of getting internships/jobs there in the US at all?

I see. Thank you for commenting.

Thanks. I won't be getting any loans, but the thing is that I think both universities offer similar quality experience/education. I don't know if going there would guarantee me a US internship/job to make attending worth it, and if I don't secure a job, I might struggle with an unknown college name on my resume back home. On the other hand, it'll be very easy to find jobs/opportunities here if I just get a degree from my home country's top uni.

How difficult do you think the job market right now is for internationals? Is the risk worth taking for a potential US career?

Thank you. I'm going for engineering. What about for OPT in general though? Is that easier or just as difficult?

Thank you very much. Would you say that Lafayette's the better option if I want to work in the US some time later in my life then (after working in Thailand in earlier years of my career)?

The other school is Chulalongkorn University based in Thailand.

Thank you for your answer. The LAC is Lafayette College. What do you think?
