I've never been to CA, so if you go you'll have to let me know how it is.
I guess the real question is, what will make you happiest in the long run? Don't let the money scare you away from the dream if it really means so much to you (which I think it does). But at the same time, being 23 and living in the US does not make you old by any means! I have a bunch of friends who are in the 22-23 year age range and a lot of them aren't married, you definitely won't be too old to get married. And the community theaters in my area usually have rehearsal in the evenings so you wouldn't have to worry about it coinciding with your doctor job (what field of medicine are you thinking about?).
It sounds like to me though you're not going to be completely happy until you reside in the US, but correct me if I'm wrong. It sounds like you really want to experience college life in the united states. If it's really what you want I think you should look into your options, I'm sure there's a financial way you could make it work. Loans are scary and you don't want to dig yourself too deep, but you do have a long time to pay them off (at least with the student loans I've taken out, I do).
Is there any way you could even just study for a semester or two in the US? It might not be the same as going to school here full time, but it might make the 5 years a little easier to wait...
