<p>I'm pretty sure the US Embassy prohibits travel to Cuba. And if you go, you're pretty much screwed if you get into any trouble. So, if the Cuban police decide to just arrest you, there's no consulate to bail you out. So I would think through it carefully about how much your life is worth before persueing Cuba. Yes, it would be interesting. But life down there isn't "oh its cuba its communism !", and it isn't a petting zoo. You could end up in serious trouble without even knowing it. And like I said, i'm almost certain the US Embassy doesn't support Cuban travel. Heck, we wont even important their rum! It may actually be against the law to travel there, so check around on the State Dept. website.<br>
So, my advice is watch the Discovery Channel special on Cuba and pick somewhere else to study abroad in. Cuba just isn't worth your life.</p>
