You need to chcek with a Spanish consulate (preferably the one that issued your student visa). However, there should be no problem visiting Spain as a tourist after your student visa expires.

You'll need a Ph.D in English and need to maintain fluency in Spanish. If you can do both of those things, I believe that you will find a job fairly easily as an English professor in a Spanish university =] All the best of luck.

Fund raising ideas for class trip to Spain?
Fund raising ideas for class trip to Spain?
My son's 8th grade Spanish class is planning a trip to Spain for next summer. Each student needs to come up with $3500! Unless we do some serious fund raising he won't be able to go. Our ideas so far include: Yard sale, Penny drive, car wash, selling stuff on eBay & bake sales. Does anyone have any great ideas? To Cherry Koolaid- It's not a vacation is a Study Program. There is no way I would let him go if it was just for fun.

The actual event, crazy as it may sound, involves racing rubber ducks down a local waterway. Your local community "adopts" the ducks for a chance to win valuable donated prizes. Duck races have become a unique and profitable event for many charities. Your group sells a ticket linked to a number that's painted on one of the racing rubber ducks. Depending on the prizes involved, tickets are priced somewhere between $5-$10 a ticket. A standard size for a race is 3,000 rubber ducks, but you can adjust that up or down depending on the size of your group and the amount you need to raise. Large plastic bags full of the ducks are simultaneously emptied into the water. The winning duck is the one that floats to the finish line first. It adds a little extra zing to the old-fashioned raffle ticket sale. Prizes can also be awarded in various categories to add to the festivities. Many groups organize their "race" around a group picnic near the waterway and make a leisurely afternoon out of your fundraiser event. A company called Great American Duck Races can supply you with everything you need. ~Bowling - Ideas on putting together a charity bowling fundraiser - How to tips for organizing a fun fundraising event and maximizing the revenue. ~Halloween Pumpkin Patch - Fundraising with a Halloween Pumpkin Patch - How to tips for a simple Halloween fundraiser idea. ~Karaoke Fundraiser - How to ride the American Idol craze with a karaoke fundraiser - No talent required and not a lot of effort needed to organize this fundraising event.

English student studying abroad in Spain?
English student studying abroad in Spain?
I've nearly completed my A Levels (I will have an AS in Enlish Language and A Levels in Art and Textiles when i am done). I want to study in Spain furthering my art, probably fashion or fine art direction. (I am going there next summer to take an intensive Spanish course although the places i have looked at teach in English but hey, immerse oneself right!) Been looking at sites and there seems to be quite a few good universities mentioning taking international students but i cant find any information about how much the fees would be. If anyone has studied in Spain (especially art type courses) then could you give me a rough idea of the tuition costs, entry requirements etc and also how did you find the experience? Thank you :)

Hello! A great school to learn Spanish is Don Quijote, they have branches in the most important cities. I can recommend you Salamanca. It's not far from Madrid - good for flight connections and it's one of the best in Spain. Apart from learning the language you will enjoy the experience as it is a very cosmopolitan city but at the same time not too big so it's very manageable. There are lots of cultural events going on all year long and hey! great for socialising :) Trust me, great place to go! Been there and done it all :) Best of luck!

I wasn't taking art courses in Spain, but i was there for a semester in college. As Sue Queen said, Salamanca is a great city for a student studying in Spain. That's where I was. I took courses taught in Spanish at the University of Salamanca. Being somewhat centrally located, you can get almost anywhere in the country in a reasonable amount of time by train. I went through a program called the Institute of European Studies (IES). Have fun!

Student Visa for Spain?
Student Visa for Spain?
I wasn't sure about the Student Visa turnaround time which happens to be 7 weeks. I have been accepted to a school in Madrid. Everything is ready to go except my visa. The day I'm leaving is Feb 1st. THe program lasts until May 29th. My question is can I go without a student visa? If I get a visa when I get there it lasts for 90 days. Can I just leave to a non schengen country and come back to give myself another 30 days? Let me know if there are any other options. I can't cancel this trip!

When I went to school in Madrid in 1992, my memory is that I went to the Spanish embassy in Houston and was issued a visa on the spot, no waiting. I don't know if things have changed since then, but definitely call the Spanish embassy in your area to find out....
2 :
if you have been accepted as a student, you must ask for a student visa, otherwise the school will not let you enter the courses or start the school; the student visa must be applied while out of the country, not while in the country ; after your student visa is expired, if you are from a visa waiver country? you may go back, where are you from? come back and add your country, i cannot answer you legally without the origin of your country.edit your question with the little pencil under it.

i have a friend that lived in Spain to flee the war in Bosnia.. she never complained about Spain being racist and she was in immigrant in that country. You'll have to see when he gets there. Just because one person says that a country is 'racist' does not mean that there are not open-minded people that still live there. I have several friends from Spain that are definitely not closed off or racist in any way.

There are problems everywhere with racism. He should be fine.

dont worry about it. dont judge one person just because you hear something about them from someone from a completely different country. i don't get pissed at ALL canadians just because SOME practice the "sport" of clubbing seals, or ALL white people just because SOME hate blacks for no reason, etc. yaknow :]

If he's racist send him back. Or lock him in the cellar.

Hi. I am from Spain. This may surprise you but about 12% of our population are immigrants. Most of them from Latin america, followed by east europeans and people from north center and south of Africa, since we are the nearest european country to Africa. So you see, it cannot be a "culture shock". We have the same problems that you do in Canada with racism. And don't tell me you all live in peace and harmony because that's not true in any country. There always will be some stupid people that feel better than other rest. Your Argentinean friend may have had a bad experience here, but it doesn't mean that the whole country is racist. Exactly where do you get these ideas of spanish people being more racist than any other country?

People in Spain are NOT racist, any more than any place else. That is crap! He will surely be told to accept what he sees as the local culture and ways...that's what exchange students are all about...and they ARE prepared by the organizations as to what to expect. I have a friend from Spain who lives here...US. No worries.

I feel sorry for him does he know he's going to a racist trolls house?? Maybe we should warm him

In Spain we have a lot of immigrants too, and not everybody is a racist.
