Is it possible to apply for a student visa while already abroad in a different country?
Is it possible to apply for a student visa while already abroad in a different country?
I am an American student and already have plans to be in Spain shortly on a student visa. I would like to apply for a student visa to visit Denmark after I return from Spain, but the time frame between when I would re-enter the US and leave the country again is quite short. Could I instead apply through the Danish embassy in Spain?

You can apply for a visa to Denmark either from your country of citizenship or from your country of residence. Residence is defined in Europe as stay beyond three months. If you hold a long-stay visa to study in Spain and you want to continue your studies in Denmark you can apply for the residence permit at the Danish Embassy in Madrid http://www.ambmadrid.um.dk/da .. or the Consulate General in Barcelona, Rambla de Cataluña 45, 4-2, E-08007 Barcelona, phone: 093 488 0222, fax: 093 487 6736, e-mail: gkl_bcn@infonegocio.com. You also can take a trip to Denmark and apply for the residence permit to study at the Service Center of the Danish Migration Board. http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/contact/contact_to_the_danish_immigration_service/the-service-centre.htm .. http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to_dk/studies/how_to_apply.htm ..

How do I get started in a Foreign Exchange Student Program?
How do I get started in a Foreign Exchange Student Program?
I am a Freshman in Highschool, and I want the go with a Foreign Exchange Student Program to Spain or a spanish speaking country. I have taken 3 years of Spanish. I also volunteer at a hospital 4 hours a week (which they might like.) I have good grades also. The problem, is that I don't know how to start or how I will come up with that money. Anything will help me even if it's not in a Spanish country. Thanks!

Check out the Committee For Safety of Foreign Exchange Students first. Also, be aware that no fingerprint-based criminal checks of host families are conducted so you don't know the background of the adults in the house. You lose a year of high school but if you wait until college you will receive college credit and it looks good to employers that you studied abroad in college. It costs $3000 to $15000 plus $200 per month that your family has to send you every month as part of the contract.

Check out Youth For Understanding. Not only do they have an excellent program (I went to Japan in 2005), they have more scholarships than just about any other organization! Just go to their website, fill out the application, and you'll hear back from them in not too long. Your grades and language ablitity will help you out TREMENDOUSLY. And.. don't be scared by people who tell you that "exchange programs are dangerous". The statistics say it is very unlikely, and I know hundreds of former students who had no problems at all. YFU will even move you if something happens. Heck, I got moved because the mother got sick!

What is the best city in Spain to study in a medical school for a summer month?
I am taking part in a student exchange programe for undergraduate medical students.I chose Spain and I would like to know what is the best city (except Barcelona) to live in for a month. I m thinking about Seville but many other cities are beautiful as well. (Granada,Madrid,Salamanca,Valencia,Malaga,Zaragoza,Valladolid,Bilbao,Oviedo). These ones have medical schools. Your opinions are most valuable to me...

It depends if you are looking for academic recognition, a good student city or something else like a beach/good weather/good nights out etc. If you want a decent academic university then your best best is Madrid (the Universidad Compultense is one of the most highly regarded in Europe). Valencia (Universitat de Valencia) also has good international standing. If you want a good student city then you could try Granada (massive student population) or somewhere similar like Salamanca or Seville. These cities are much smaller than somewhere like Barcelona or Madrid, but have a load of students which can make studying there a great experience. If you want beaches/good weather you could try Valencia, Cadiz (it has a med school in the centre of the city) or Malaga. If you want somewhere with a relaxed atmosphere and many typically Spanish customs (and great weather) then anywhere in Andalusia is a good bet. If you want to find out more about each city as a student destination you can have a look at http://www.vivaerasmus.com (Erasmus is the european university exchange program)

Foreign Exchange Student- What would be some good American experiences?
Foreign Exchange Student- What would be some good American experiences?
This fall my cousin will be in an exchange program and will travel to Spain. My aunt has agreed to participate also and receive a student from Spain while my cousin is abroad. She wants to plan some good, American activities for the student to enjoy, something that they wouldn't be able to do in Spain, but isn't sure of what to plan. She's asked us, and, frankly, we can't think of many good ideas either. Do you have any suggestions?

Baseball, Hot dogs, Apple Pie. Lots of tourists like to go to indoor malls, amusement parks, and shooting ranges.

I don't know what they do in Spain, but I would make sure they participate in school activities such as football games, homecoming dances etc. If possible I would take them to a professional sports event (football, baseball, hockey) what ever is popular in your area. Amusement parks are also good. The best thing really is to have them participate in activities that you regularly participate in with your kids so they see what an American family is really like. And try to make sure they get involved in some extra curricular activities at school
3 :
A rodeo A state or county fair theater productions Holiday celebrations like 4th of July camping at a state park visit any national monuments you can - a trip to Washington would be super! If not then the state government is a good visiting site. Any natural phenomenon such as Grand Canyon, Redwood forests etc Ride a paddle boat down the Mississippi go to Mardi Gra snorkeling in Florida or anyplace warm concert Any sporting event is good.
4 :
Ask the student what he/she wants to do. I've been involved in a couple of exchange programs, and what I found was that what the teens liked most was hanging out with other teens. They wanted to experience life the way American teens do. We also assumed that our students would want to see all the tourist attractions, and of course they did. But when we asked them what they most wanted to do, they'd mention little things that we would never have thought of, such as going fishing (not common in some parts of the world), and going to McDonald's to eat french fries.
