Can a foreign student get a grant/scholarship to go to school in the USA?
I have a friend from Colombia. She is here working here in the US as an Au-Pair. She wants to pursue her masters here in bacteriology. Is it possible for her to get a grant or scholarship being that she is not from the US but wants to study here? If so, what is a good starting place for more information? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Grants are given to US citizens though some grants award it to permanent residents, but not for tourists or those with working visas The best place to check is through the schools who will accept her. I know of many foreigners who come to the US and study here. The first semester is tough to get any grants or scholarships, so the best bet is to have your own funds and use it for the first sem. Once you go to the second semester, you've got more options for grants

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?
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?
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.

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.
