What types of clothes should I be buying to look good in Spain?
What types of clothes should I be buying to look good in Spain?
Im going to Spain next semester and I want to "fit in" for the most part. I was wondering what I should be buying now to build up a small base wardrobe before I get over there. Im the type of guy who loves gym shorts and cutoffs so I obviously need some help on what to be buying. Im a college student so money is somewhat tight.

Where are you going? Barcelona/Madrid or down south? Or somewhere else? It kind of depends - the weather is very different in different parts of the country, and I think it's also fair to say that styles in Barcelona are kind of different to elsewhere too.

look it up

I was there for three months this year, which would be the spring semester I guess around the same time your going...I have to tell you that it is going to be cold!!! I studied in Salamanca, Spain which is about 2 hours from Madrid and it was really cold...It will probably rain a lot and let me tell you from experience you'll probably going out a lot a night, trust me you have to have warm clothes. Another thing is, well I'm from California so the guys here dress totally different then the guys in Spain...guys in Spain generally dress very nice, clean cut, I guess you could say very preppy. I hope this helps you, and if you have any other questions just feel free to ask me.

That's where I lived! :) You do not need to get a bank account over there. If you use any major bank in the US (like US Bank), you can use the ATM and/or your debit/credit card anywhere in Europe. So, if your mom wants to put some money into your account (go mom!), she can put it in her local US Bank (in your account) and you can withdraw via the ATM. You get charged a 1.50$ fee for each time you withdrawl, so you might as well do a lot at a time. Then keep what cash you need on you, and the rest hide in a sock or something. Everyone takes VISA. Rarely Discover. But cash is by far easier to work with. I used US bank and it worked great!

What is the University system in Spain like?
What is the University system in Spain like?
Hey, can anyone tell me what Academia in Spain is like, specifically compared to the US, if you can. I'm a grad student who will eventually be getting my PhD in Political Science. The problem is that I have an obsession with Spain, and I have to move there some day. So, if I can move there and teach in my field at the same time, all the better... I've heard a few things about the University system in Spain before, mostly that they hire their own, and that Political Science programs are very qualitative, but I'd like to hear your opinions. ¡MuchÃsimas gracias!

All depends on which university you'd be interested in... My nephew works in administration in the UAM (Madrid, northwestern campus). He says that is 's a pretty good one. I live in Malaga province. The University in Malaga has become quite large and improved enormously, tho' most studies are better on theory, less so on practice (field work). The Granada University has an excellent pharmacy faculty (among others). And Granada is a wonderful city to live in. Check out some websites... www.uam.es (Madrid) www.ugr.es (Granada University) www.uma.es (Malaga University) www.uah.es (Alcala de Henares) www.usal.es (University of Salamanca) There are also Universities in Valencia, Bilbao, Barcelona, Valladolid, etc. and the catholic university in Pamplona. Check them all out, and see which one has something interesting in your field... Then go for it! Send them a C.V (curriculum) and cross your fingers. I hope this info. has been of help...Good luck! Buena Suerte!!

Well I live in ireland and love it so I definitely recommend it. However that depends on other things. For example if you do want to learn spanish more thoroughly, Spain is a good idea.
3 :
If I were you, which I kind of wish I was right now (because I want to study abroad sooooo badly), I'd approach it with colleges in mind, as long as you really can't decide. If you chose Spain, but picture yourself regretting the choice not to go to Ireland until the minute your plane left, then go to Ireland. You'll have a better experience. But if it's really a toss up between the two, then maybe talk to a counselor at your school and see what colleges might think of one decision over the other, and use that to weigh your options. Or talk to your parents, find the price of the program, and decide which one would be more culturally enhancing or that you would get more out of by looking at the websites and descriptions carefully. If you intend to study Spanish in college, then go to Ireland now. That way things will be mostly in English, and you can take a semester abroad in college to Spain, when you speak the language much better and can be more independent. It's a tough choice, either one is great. Thought I'd make some suggestions, though, to help you choose :) have fun!
