  Ticket: 1-way or 2-way...?
nobody
I've got an F-1 visa. Can I buy a one way only air ticket to the United States?
Does it create any problems when you land i.e. INS?

You don't need a return ticket unless you are coming for a short-term program. You do need to have some proof of finances with you in case INS asks.

I suppose a two-year AS degree is not a short-term course. And why do I have to show finances to INS... doesn't that end at the U.S. Embassy?

Unfortunately it doesn't end. INS has a right not to let you in even if you have a visa. It doesn't happen very often, especially if you are from a wealthy country.

In your case a one-way ticket should be OK.
