<p>I was just wondering what would look best to put on my college application..</p>
<p>A month in Spain, immersed in the language (i'm in AP spanish V but really need to be able to SPEAK the language) and the culture, homestay and taking classes at a school</p>
<p>A month in a spanish speaking country like Costa Rica/Ecuador, doing community service, and helping at nature reserves, with a homestay and learning the language through villagers</p>
<p>Staying a month at a college like Amherst, Brown, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Oxford where you take a MAJOR and MINOR and are involved in seminars and have projects/homework. a place where you are evaluated, and these evaluations can be sent with your application.</p>
<p>I definitely need and want to do more community service, want to have a better grasp on spanish, want to explore another culture. at the same time i also am REALLY interested on the classes/seminars at the universities.. i think it would be really interesting.</p>
<p>if i can save up enough money, i can take one this summer and one the next. i would just like opinions on what the more logical and beneficial choice would be. and i need to decide by this weekend, because spots are almost filled up! thank you!</p>
