Q. I want to go study in Spain. What are the requirements? Do I have to take some kind of test? Do you have to have all As in school? I am currently in Mexico.What do I need to get my student visa? I am eighteen years old.
A. Hi!, I am Spanish, I was born in Canary Islands, and next year I am going to Madrid university. There are both public and private universities in Spain, public universities are quite cheap, they cost 1000-2000 Euros per year plus living costs. You can live in a University residence (that´s what I´m gonna do) or you can rent a house.
It´s possible that you can apply to some scolarship though.
Private universities are also good, but they are much more expensive, around 6000-9000 Euros per year.
You will only be required to have completed Pre-universitary education, like everywhere.
You don´t need all As in the school. However, depending on the university, you might need a mark. As you are not here yet, there is no problem, because if you couldn´t study in a university due to the mark you can always choose another one.
Check the government site for student Visa ingo.
Here you got info about the mark you need for every degree in every university. (It´s a 0 to 14 scale, but as you are an international student I don´t really know what you´ll need)

And here you´ve got all the degrees.

How can buy Bank repossessions Property in spain ?
Q. In fact,often times these repossessed homes can be acquired at price of 20%_40% lower than their market value.Often times buyers can find a perfectly good repossessed house for an amazing price,including apartments,condo,houses and even commercial properties.
A. Further to your point, if you speak directly to a local bank in the area that you have chosen and asked to see their portfolio of properties, they can often come to a very attractive agreement on any mortgage that may be required. A number of Banks are also offering pretty good rent-to-buy deals in order to liquidate their portfolio. http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/property-and-accomodation.html
How easy/hard is it to move to Spain from the UK for a 6 month working holiday?
Q. Looking at traveling abroad, possibly Spain, or somewhere is Europe, for 6 months from the UK.
I want to work whilst there to earn money.. Don't know how easy this would be, so looking to find answers from anybody who has done this. Also, What kind of accommodation did you stay on? What kind of work did you do? And most importanly, Did you enjoy it?
Thanks :-)

A. I've actually read several stories in the papers of Dutch and British expats who have recently had to return to their respective home countries because of losing jobs and finding it impossible to get jobs, and they have ended up losing pretty much everything because of a housing slump having invested substantial amounts in houses there which have lost value and they have had to sell at a loss (being impossible to find people to rent them)
So finding somewhere to live shouldn't be a problem, but finding a job will be if you don't speak Spanish. Bear in mind that the unemployment rate in Spain is expected to hit 25% this year and Spanish nationals are seeking jobs elsewhere
You know the situaiton in the UK, and as a result it's a pretty fair reflection of elsewhere in Europe at the moment. Employers are tightening their belts and people are holding onto jobs with contracts. Then for seasonal jobs you are going to have to compete with students, and also with graduates who are increasingly settling for any kind of job (you probably read about the poor girl who was a graduate, applied for over 200 jobs and took her own life after an increasing feeling of low self-worth).
I'm not trying to scare you, but merely to get you to think about doing a bit of homework. Target which areas of the countries you are interested in and contact job agencies there. Based on your experience and skills, they will be able to give you the best indicaiton of how viable it is going to be for you to find a job there and thus avoid you making what could be an expensive mistake otherwise
I don't know the job situation in Spain personally, and can only read it from the unemployment stats and media stories I've read. Hopefully someone closer to the market can give you specifics
Wishing you best of luck

What is the best way to study abroad for at least 1 year?
Q. I am interested in living abroad in either Mexico or Spain, for a minimum of one year, maybe longer. I am still considering the Peace Corps, although of course the country would be different. Of course I want to be a legal resident. Also, any additional advice on employment or accomodation during the extended time abroad? Will host families accomodate a student for such an extended period of time?
also:
1) for those of you who learned fluently learned Spanish abroad, how/where
2) I would appreciate advice on specific cities in these two countries that would be good for living, working, etc.
Thanks

A. The Peace Corps is very competitive and not that easy to get into so if this is something you are casually considering, I would research into it first and they usually require at least a 2 year committment.
Getting legal residency isn't really an "of course" type thing. Some countries are very cautious about who they let become residents (simply for monetary reasons as legal residents pay the regular price for things and no longer need visas). So I would look into which countries allow legal residency in less than a year and what the requirements are. If you are only going to live there for a year, I don't see the point in becoming a resident unless you are planning to return numerous times or move there in the future.
In terms of employment, especially in Latin America, if you don't speak the language then your best bet is to teach English. I would look into organizations like Teach for America and other smaller ones that send people to Latin/South America to teach English. The benefit about these groups also is that they often help you out with housing. There are host families that will accommodate a student for a full year, you could also just rent out a room in someone's house on your own (cheaper than a host family which are paid more because they are handpicked by organizations and groomed to living with foreigners) which is pretty equivalent in that you would be living with them as a member of the household.
It seems like you already have a list of specifications so I would look into which places fit your list and then that will decide the best cities/places for you. Good luck!
