Is it possible for me, an American student, to go to a university in Mexico?

Is it possible for me, an American student, to go to a university in Mexico?
Not by means of a study abroad program. I would like to do all my studying there, and eventually become a doctor and work somewhere in Mexico. Is that possible, and if so, what do I have to do?

Why the heck would you want to? You already live in a country with arguably the best medical schools on the planet and you want to go to Mexico for Med school? Get your degree here and then go to Mexico or other disadvantaged country to help them. You only go to med school in Mexico if no other program will accept you.
3 :
Yes, you can, as long as you meet all the criteria. If you want to study medicine I highly recomend you UNAM, it is considered to be the best University in Latin America and it is ranked among the best Universities in the world and believe it or not mexican citizens pay NOTHING to study there, getting accepted is not easy at all, the entry test is hard and there are many applicants who want to study medicine, one thing you have to be aware of is that you have to speak spanish very good, some universities in Mexico offer studies in english but it is maninyl for posgraduate studies, UNAM does not hold classes in english for its undergraduate students in Medicine. About the requisities, I attach a web page of a University in Mexico that has a website in english, check it out, you may find all requisities for foreing students there, take it as a reference: http://www.mty.itesm.mx/rectoria/pi/internationalstudents/ And this is the web site of UNAM http://www.unam.mx/pagina/es/15/comunidad-unam-estudiantes-estudiantes-extranjeros Sorry everything is in spanish If you study in your native country you may work in Mexico too when you finished :)))) Good luck :))))))))))))))))))))))))

I'm going to mexico as an exchange student very soon?

I'm going to mexico as an exchange student very soon?
I am going to Cuernavaca, Mexico in 4 weeks. I will attend a Spanish school and stay with a Mexican host family. I have never been an exchange student before, so I have no idea what to expect. Can anyone help me out? :) What should I expect? What are Mexican families like? What would be a good gift to give them? Chocolate, maybe? What is cuernavaca like? Will it be warm? thanks

Hello, Cuernavaca it´s my city actually, I was born here and I live here so I dont know where you´re from, but mexican people like the rest of people of Latin America have reputation of being the most friendly and hospitable people with foreigners, and Mexican people is maybe the most welcoming people, also we´re really merrymakers and we like to chill, to speak and go party a lot, many things are excuse to celebrate so don´t worry the mexican host family are going to treat you very well, they´ll try to make you feel well and to invite you to any celebration and meeting they make in order that you don´t feel like a stranger in their home. About bringing chocolate yes it would be nice chocolate has origin in Mexico so you better bring one thing that be just specific from the country or city that you come from (ex:If you´re from Japan bring a little doll dressed with a Kimono, if you´re from Scottland then you bring a wisky, if you´re from Ireland then bring a little figure of Saint Patrick or so). What is Cuernavaca like?:it´s a small tourist city, compared to other cities in Mexico it´s pretty safe and the weather is always pleasant so you don´t need to bring many coats, just a pair of jackets, the temperatures are not extremes like in Europe or other parts, in fact we don´t know what the snow is because it never snows here, this is "the city of the eternal spring" Alexander Von Humbolt gave it this name, because of it´s great weather the most part of the year, those days there have been some rains but very quiet so bring a jacket, the distances here are very short so you don´t need a car, you can take a bus and the transport is cheap, you don´t take more that 20 minutes to get from one point to another. the temperature right now is 64°F (18°C) and it just rained a little but the air is not cold, just a little wet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuernavaca
2 :
Cuernavaca is a beautiful place in Mexico. Due to Spanish colonization you will find that much of the population is white (blonde hair, blue green eyes, white skin) Mexicans in general are very friendly, and treat all visitors of its country very highly. As for the host family, most likely it will be someone wealthy considering they are involved with the university. A great gift would be something simple that is unique, and from the USA. Have fun in Mexico! it is amazing and you will love it
3 :
Cuernavaca calls itself "la ciudad de la eterna primavera," the city of eternal spring. Usually at this time of year it's too dry to be springlike although the temperature is pleasant. As I write this central Mexico is experiencing very unusual heavy rains-February is usually one of the driest months.The last time this happened, 1990, it rained all through February up until beginning of May. And then the rainy season starts at the end of May. This is a very unusual weather year so far. usually in Cuernavaca in the winter you can dress lightly during the day and get by with a sweater or light jacket at night in the winter and rainy season. In the warm months -March thru early May and end of Oct.thru early Nov- it gets pretty hot. I suggest you wait until a day or so before you come, and check the weather frequently on weather.com or something similar. Cuernavaca has several historical attractions from the prehispanic to the colonial to the Mexican Revolution period. Many of the embassies and large international companies in Mexico City, have weekend places in Cuernavaca for their employees. The area attracts a lot of tourism both national and international.It is one of the more attractive larger cities in Mexico. Mexican families are usually warm and sharing and very open to visitors and will try to make you happy and comfortable. You will find them to be some of the nicest people in the world. It's funny that mention chocolate. Chocolate originated in Mexico. The word chocolate is of Mexican origin. You will probably be introduced to a new (to you) concept of hot chocolate here. If you want to give them some sort of assorted mix of choclate candies, the fruit and nut things, they would probably enjoy that. Mexicans mostly don't appreciate dark chocolate, being more of the milk chocolate camp. You might consider giving them something that the area you are from is known for - Georgia peanuts, New England or Canadian maple syrup- something along those lines. Whatever you bring them will be received with thanks. Have a great time
4 :
Oooh that's a nice adventure for you. Firstly be friendly and polite with your host family and bring them a gift typical of where you're from. Mexicans are generally very interested in people and will ask about your family (at length) and you- you may find questions quite personal, so be polite. Cuernavaca is lovely. Eternal spring. Low key yet things to do and friendly. You should make the most of practising Spanish and being social. Good luck!

Try the California Department of Education. Just give them a call and they will be able to help you. Chances are it will have to go through the State Department and the Department of Education the website for the U.S. Department of Education is www.ed.gov you might be able to get some information there. Good Luck!! =)

You can't apply for a student visa for someone else. He can't apply for himself either. His college will help him obtain the visa once he is accepted.
3 :
I wish that Jason G had a more respectful and hospitable attitude towards a fifteen-year-old girl who is a guest in his country, but I'm not his mother. Even if you go to public school, your cousin (not being legally resident in US--a student is not a "resident") would have to pay tuition fees. I would imagine that the cost would be prohibitive.
4 :
You cannot apply for a student visa for your cousin; only she can do that. And she can only qualify for a US student visa if she applies to and is accepted by a US college. Once she is accepted, she can then apply for the visa - if she can convince the consular officer that she does not intend to stay in the US. She is not legally allowed to attend public school in the US, except for a single year and even then must pay, as was already stated. Here is more student visa information: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1270.html

First of all you'll need your passport, and will have to have passed the Spanish language proficiency test, unless you are applying into a fairly rare English course. They will have requirements listed on their website, or you can e mail/call the admissions office. They will want transcripts, anything past that like writings and references will differ from school to school.

Colonia Cuauhtémoc, behind the American Embassy located on Avenida Reforma near the Angel monument, or Colonia Juárez which is basically on the opposite side of Reforma from the US Embassy and slightly to the east, and past that (the other side of Avenida Chapultepec) is Colonia Roma. This is a fairly decent area, easy to get to Polanco from here, and you can probably find an apartment between $7000 and $12000 pesos a month. Rent in Mexico City is expensive, but in Polanco it's even more expensive than this.You can probably find someone(s) to share with. You might find students who have space and are willing to take in another room mate for a couple of months. One of my sons lived in this area for a year while in college and liked it a lot. I hope this helps.

well, in order to get financial aid you need to file through fafsa, which requires you a social security number. some people have a visa and social security that is not valid for employment. you can not get a loan without a social number. if a lender lets you borrow without a social you could get away with the money and can't be prosecuted because he/she doesn't exist
2 :
If your friend is here on a student visa, then no, they are not eligible for any sort of USA financial aid (grants or loans). In order for them to have gotten that visa they had to produce bank documents showing financial ability to pay for school.
3 :
NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FInancial aid is limited to US CITIZENS and PERMANENT RESIDENTS...............your friend can get a loan with a US citizen or permanent resident as a co-signor and if he/she returns back 2 Mexico without paying it becomes the debt of the co-signor
4 :
yes your friend needs to file for financial aid at fafsa.ed.gov

Need2Know is absolutely correct, no federal finacnial aid is available. Ask the school you are applying to if they have scholarships from their alumni to give to international students however.

The one in NYC, for example have a website from which you can download an application for visa from ( http://www.consulmexny.org/eng/downloadable_files/mexican_visa_app.PDF). Others probably have likewise. The student visa is called the FM-3 Visa in Mexico (http://www.consulmexny.org/eng/english.html)

How long will you be in Mexico? If you will be there less than 180 days, all you need is a tourist card...which you can obtain on the plane if you fly or at the border if you drive. You definetly DO NOT need an FM3. An FM3 is a visa for persons wanting to IMMIGRATE to Mexico! You also do not need an FM2...which is a visa that is renewed yearly and requires proof of about $1ooo.oo monthly income to obtain. I live in Mexico and am pretty knowledgeable about visas. I believe you just need the 6 month "tourist" card. You can call or visit the nearest Mexican consulate to ask for yourself. Go to the website below and click on "consular services" to find the list of consulates (click on "English version" first).

Yeah, dress fairly conservatively, no cleavage, bare midriff, etc.,what might be fairly normal in the US might be considered "whorish" in Mexico and guys will treat you accordingly. If you do get unwanted attention, do what the native women seem to do, which is act like they don't exist.

You should also have a certified copy of your birth certificate. you do not need to do any other paperwork. If your American friend does not already have a passport, he/she can go to the post office in your town to fill out papers. Please allow 8 weeks to get it as the passport offices are very busy now with new rules going into effect. A U.S. passport costs $97.00 total.

You are still a "non-immigrante." You must have an Fm3 visa for 5 years before you can apply for an Fm2...an "immigrante"visa. Then you are actually a legal resident , a step in preparing for citizenship...if desired. An FM2 is similar to a green card in the U.S. I believe you will find you need to renew that FM3 student visa every year at the nearest INM office. Check it for the expiration date. You need to go to the INM office about 2 to 3 weeks before the expiration date to file for renewal. When you arrive in Mexico, you must go , as soon as possible ( within a month at the most) to the nearest INM ofice and register your address. See site below, scroll down, choose the state you will be living in and click for the address of the INM office.
2 :
You are considered a "Temporary "Resident" for the duration of the 5 year period must re-new every year. At the end of the 5 year period you may apply for the F.M.2 and go through the same 5 year period, re-newable every year and the you are considered an "Imigrado" and will not be bothered by La Migra again.

Yahoo Answers is not your source for reliable information (you will get a lot of BS from people just for writing the word Mexico and Visa together) but it can give you some leads. That said, she needs to apply to the University/School first, once accepted the School will provide the necessary paperwork for your application at the nearest USA Embassy or Consulate. In order to get the Visa the applicant will have to prove that it can provide for himself/herself without any government aid. This is done mostly through an affidavit, evidence of source of income etc. (pretty much similar to get a regular Tourist Visa). NOW, the school may offer grants and scholarships to foreign students specially for Graduate Programs (Master, PhD) with a low application rates (e.g. Engineering / Science Programs). There are several other grants and scholarship from Non-Profit Organizations targeting foreign students (e.g.Fulbright Program). This applies to Foreign Students from any country!!!

Are you talking about buying a fake visa from some coyote or are you talking about applying for a real student visa like everyone else? I can't help you if your relative just want to buy a fake visa, but for a real student visa, you will have to do the following before you can apply: You need to take the TOFEL test and score a certain point(normally over 550), and you will need to apply to an accredited college/university and be accepted then you can pay a certain fee and fill out a form and bring both and your I-20 to the consolate and hopefully they would give you a student visa

$1000. non refundable.

Most schools are about $20 000 a year in tuition. Community colleges are much cheaper, maybe more to the order of $5000 a year. But it will depend on the specific school. She will need to be first accepted by the university of her choice and have to show that she has sufficient funds to pay for her education and living expenses.
