<p>I am realyl sure I want to do this. I just want to get out of the U.S. for a semester and "culture" myself in a different society. Where do you think the best place to go to study abroad is? I went to Spain for a week last year and absolutley loved it. I don't know if I would be able to survive an entire semester in a country where I was not familiar with the language, although I am fluent in Spanish.</p>
<p>i have heard that when people are applying for jobs, employers look highly on people who have studied abroad in a place which required them to use a foreign language proficiently. so i think that using your background in spanish could definitely be a plus for the future, although i'm sure you will have a wonderful experience wherever you decide to go.</p>
<p>I think anywhere that you are interested in is a good place to study, especially if you are looking to use and improve language skills. I plan to spend next spring in Kyoto, Japan. Am looking at some one month summer programs in China this summer, but really haven't decided yet whether or not to go.</p>
<p>if your fluent in Spanish than there should be no problem with the language. I'd say go to Spain.</p>
<p>where would be a cheap place to study? isn't it a lot more expensive to live in spain?</p>
<p>I'm thinking Spain or England for me...</p>
<p>look into the programs at your school. There's probably some study abroad options where you can just do a tuition transfer thing, where you just pay normal tuition for your school in the US and you get to study elsewhere.</p>
<p>Anywhere in Europe... well, the Dollar isn't that strong compared to the Euro. Might look at Switzerland, they use Swiss Francs, and I think $.80 = 1 Swiss Franc.</p>
<p>How is the exchange rate in Mexico?</p>
<p>I am planning to go to Spain, or possibly another Spanish speaking country. I'm not fluent yet but hopefully I'll get there.</p>
<p>Are you a senior now?</p>
<p>I'm a first year in college.</p>
