I know that you are aware of it, but you will need to greatly improve your English. You mention that it would be expensive to go to school in the UK, but it is equally expensive in the US, if not more so.

Hola yo soy mexicana Pues todo depende, En UK las escuelas son muuy buenas y estrictas por lo que he escuchado, y podrias mejorar mucho tu ingles alla, en lo personal me gusta mas el ingles britanico, y te digo que mi ingles es muy bueno, la unica razon por la que la gente se da cuenta que no soy de aqui es por mi nombre. Yo estoy en Vancouver Canada y pienso empezar la universidad aqui el proximo a;o. Los 3 lugares son muy buenos pero yo en lo personal eligiria UK, si me hubieran dejado escoger entre Canada y UK te digo que habria ido ahi, lastima que no tenia opcion. suerte

As an American where can I study in Colombia?

As an American where can I study in Colombia?
I am trying to find a foreign exchange/study abroad program at a university level in Colombia. I am having a hard time finding some. I do not speak much spanish but when foreign exchange students came to my current college they couldn't speak a word of english. So I know it isn't impossible, I just need some help.

Check with your unis study abroad coordinator and look online www.studyabroad.com

Try Rosario and Andes universities in Bogotá, they're both used to having foreign students (from Belgium, France, Japan, former USSR, etc) and some of their classes are in English.

Wanting to go to Cali Colombia from Chicago for cheap?

Wanting to go to Cali Colombia from Chicago for cheap?
I want to take a summer vacation for about 10 days or more. Many flights do not go direct and have many multiple stops. Fares go up to 700 dollars. Is there any method for me to take my trip in June or July? I am a college student and I do not want to break the bank. Thanks.

As a grad student, are you normally permitted to sleep in dorms of that university?

As a grad student, are you normally permitted to sleep in dorms of that university?
Yes, my question is really that simple. I tried googling but couldn't find anything. I'm asking about Colombia btw.

What do you mean, sleeping in dorms? If what you mean is staying in dorms, I think graduate students can do that. But if you need a place to sleep for a night or two because you have something important to do in the campus, I don't think there's a vacant place in dorms. I'm not studying in Columbia, but I used to be a research student in a uni. As a research student I got a small office in the faculty building, and I usually slept in the office if thesis writing was overwhelming. I didn't need to obtain a permission from the faculty to stay overnight but I needed to let the janitors know I was there. Otherwise they would be very shocked to see someone already in the office at 5am! :)

Only if you have a signed contract. :) But yes, they do have housing options for graduate students, including "dormitory-style suites." They also offer help to students who want to find their own housing.

Does buying pot send money to Mexico or Colombia and does it cause people in those countries to be murdered?

Does buying pot send money to Mexico or Colombia and does it cause people in those countries to be murdered?
There were thousands of killings of innocent people in Colombia 10 years ago due to the drug trade. America is the largest consumer of south American illegal Drugs. Now the murder rate in Mexico is going thru the roof in drug wars and the illegal drug trade is closer to the USA than it was before. So the real question is.. Can we apply legal punishement to college students for funding the Drug/Murder trade?

Both. And yes, we should be punishing people more for drug possession/use. But society these days is so dam confused, uncaring, high, and ignorant. For god sakes, Lady GaGa was found on coke, and she said in a report that she does pot and she is proud of it. Why is she not in jail? Why in god's name is Charlie Sheen not in jail? Hell, with all the drugs he bought the traders probably have a summer home.

Not if you buy American.

Most of the marijuana found in the United States is grown in the United States and all drugs should simply be decriminalized taxed a regulated like tobacco and alcohol all prohibition does is create criminal enterprises if the drug is legal and yields no profit their is no reason to kill each other over it. Why is it that its harder for kids to get cigarettes and alcohol than it is heroin crack pot meth ect because its controlled and regulated. I mean really its such a simple logical look the the prohibition of alcohol and the Violence and criminal empires it created its how many drug cartels were their that imported narcotics into the united states from the 1800s-1930s ? And at the person saying we need harsher punishments for drugs smuggling drugs in most of other country's that bring in coke and heroin punish it with the death penalty obviously that doesn't work you know because it perfect logic that someone with an illegal plant should spend more time in prison than someone who rapes children

Yes, they should be responsible. However, I believe the legalization of these drugs internationally would be even better, sponsored by the government or approved and legalized vendors. I am Colombian, and drugs have ruined by country. However, if they don't legalize, then they must fight.

Dude you got a very strong argument there. Sadly it is the true the major consumers here in USA are idnereeclty responsible for the things going on down there and the things going on down there are very ugly. Consumers here. Producers there. Buyers here Drug lords there. Drug lords get kill violence and destruction of communities. This drug bussiness creates jobs and for some you got two choices immigrate illegally (chances of getting caught or die and problems with the goverment) to USA or become a drug dealer (average life when you become one 4 years) leaving a family wife widowed and kids with no father figure leave alone for some years mom dies kids grow to repeat the same cycle immigrate or become a drug leader some do neither grow up turn to be crazy and become alcoholic and drug addcits. The Mexican social fabric gets disrupted and does not stop more grief to a nation already full open wounds and if the Mexican literature and writer Octavio Paz is correct Mexicanos siguen siendo hijos de la chingada Mexican are and will be sons of the motherf*** bitch idk if that translates to that ... for not seens they dreams realized and achivied ...
