For PhD students in computer science, they will almost all get funding from the federal government (indirectly through grants).

Masters students, maybe not.

You are incorrect about the internships, which don't require visas for F1 holders as they get a year of OPT. Now, they might save up their one year of OPT for post graduation, which is useful for the wait in getting an H1, though I guess there are also useful extensions that can even get around that (IANAL, so I don't know what the exact story is ATM).



For MS and BS students, IIRC, a lot of countries will subsidize the education of their citizens in the US to some degree.
