More details to this question:
I have been refused a visa to go and live in america to study and I do not have a criminal record. Luckily I managed to obtain an Esta to go on holiday, but I was wondering what the chances of me landing in america and they refusing me entry and sending me back home?

On your esta application, did you divulge that you had been denied a visa? If not, then you need to redo Esta and disclose. That misrepresentation can get you removed at the border and barred from entry for years. Getting in the US is never a guarantee- have proof of your intention to return to your home country on time and be able to explain why you are in the US

If you have been approved under ESTA and you have evidence of the temporary nature of your visit, you should be granted entry to the US.
