Question

Can a girl go to school and study in an American Univerity. Covering herself completely except the face viel. Please advise

Answer

It is most advisable for girls to study at home via some correspondence course.

Generally the environment in the universities are not altogether conducive to maintaining and strengthening one's Imaan. It is extremely difficult in these trying times, particularly for a muslim female, to survive the strong un-Islamic influences at campuses.
