summer exchange student to MEXICO????
I am planning on taking a 4 week language study and a 4 week homestay next summer. I want to go to Spain and Mexico so that I can experience both and see the differences in the culture. I am planning on going with AFS of CCI. However, I don't know where in Mexico I should go? Does any one have suggestions? Also, do you think I should do the laugage study in Mexico then homestay in Spain or the other way around??

First off, you don't get to choose where you go... they pick for you. Second off, 4 weeks is just not enough to learn Spanish or to get a real taste of the culture and enjoy it. I would recommend a year program and don't worry, it may seem expensive but if you get a job you can save up for it in no time. As for Mexico or Spain.... I would goto Spain. I have been to Mexico and it is not the best place to live in and it is hot. Spain is a better place to live.

There is not just ONE school schedule in Mexico. In different cities the schedule can be different. Even in one town there are many different schedules I live in a town of 80,000 and 1/2 hr from the state capital with 3/4 million people. There are dozens of public and private schools. There are many different schedules. In public school, kids only go 1/2 day through 5th grade. Usually there is a morning session from 8 to noon. Then there is an afternoon session for a different group of kids from 2 to 5:30 or 6. Kids in elementary school do not have a lunch break, just recess. Secondary is like middle school and the kids go for about 5 hous...can be 8 to 1 or 9 to 2. Prepatoria is high school. There are many schedules. In the public school, some kids go 7 to 1:30, other kids go 2 to 9 in the evening. Evening school is not unusual at all. Kids in secondaria and prepatoria have a break at about 9:30 or 10 for breakfast. I know that sounds strangs, but in Mexico, people just have coffee or juice and a sweetbread when they get up early. A traditional breakfast is eaten between 9 and 11 in the morning. Then they do not have unch til 2 or 3 , and the kids are home from school then. Private schools can have different schedules. Some have a program where kids go only on Saturday and do work on their own during the week. This is for high school kids who need to work. Another thing, I have never seen an elementary kid walk to school without an adult. A parent or grandparent or aunt or neighbor ALWAYS walks kids to school til they are about 11...kids never walk alone.

I'm calling immigration! STOP WASTING OUR TAX MONEY!!!!!!! GET A VISA ALREADY THEN GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!
2 :
How can you have good grades if you can't spell?
3 :
Sure call immigration and tell them you need money to go to college.
4 :
Go to immigration and tell this to them - I'm sure they will be able to help you OUT.
5 :
Yes you can still go to college. Many colleges accept international exchange students. I suggest moving back to mexico for one to two school years so you can apply legally. I don't believe you will have the option otherwise and may get deported if you try - they are certainly going to want to see your residency papers after all - papers which you don't actually have.
6 :
No, but you are welcome to take your ass back to where you came from....
7 :
SURE AS LONG AS YOU PAY FOR IT OUT OF THE MONEY YOU MAKE CUTTING GRASS,NOT A GRANT OR STUDENT LOAN.
8 :
Um, you want the USA to take care of you. Where have i heard this situation before. Sorry kid, i don't care how long you have lived here but I will be glad when all illegals are RTSed.
9 :
check with the Immigration department or the college. Thats all I can think of. May be you should call the college first and see what they suggest. It won't hurt. Side by side try to make sure you get a legal status to live here.
10 :
Another person coming to our Country illegally and wants to steal more money. Apparently you are not doing so well in school as you say as you can not spell, your grammar is very poor. Why not go back to your Country and try to make a change their. I hope in the near future That is whole Country take a stand against illegal immigration by Fining Employer for hiring illegals and Homeowners For renting to them if you people can not find work or a place to live then hopefully you will go back. Back and make a change to your homeland and quit invading ours and bringing our Country down. Sorry no free hand outs here America First
11 :
Get The FUCK OUT............... We dont want you here, You are roobing our KIDS, the right to be better educated, because, we have to put out more money for your sorry asses, P.S. give your parents a message, for me Tell The Sorry COWARDS, we dont want their kind, we are AMERICANS, and they are scum..... Go back home You F***ing COWARDS.... AND TAKE RUMMAN WITH YOU..... HE dosn't belong here either.
12 :
damn, most of these f****** are racists...... maybe they should go to college and do something with their life....
13 :
Go back to Mexico, freeloader. If you're here illegally, you don't deserve squat.
14 :
I am a white american citizen in college. It is hard for me to get assistance. so that probably means you should have no problem getting into college. But how do you feel about doing that when legal citizens can't get the help you do.
15 :
I have this Genesis song in my head. Well it's no fun being an illegal alien....
16 :
Take your butt back to Mexico where you belong.
17 :
I think You're not in the right place to ask.... Don't you how stupid they are??? You make serious questions and they give you dumb answers... Just ignore them, at least you're learning english, and that's a good start... what about them??? what do they know besides their stupid language??? Nothing!!! We, IMMIGRANTS are very fortunate because we have the ability to learn other languages easily... they all say they speak spanish...lol!!! All they can say is: Holla, Chica.... Now, You can get into a college, even if you are illegal, but you wont get your diploma at the end if you don't have your green card!!! But if I would get into a college and work out your legal residency until you finish, then you will have no problems!!!! Good luck!!!!

I'm a student filmmaker and plan to shoot in Mexico.?
I am based in l.a. and i want to shoot a short film for class in mexico. I want to know if anybody has any experience on how to deal with permits down there, and also if anybody knows how to go about doing a casting call down there. If anyone can share their experience of filming in Mexico, the "do's and don'ts" that would be incredibly helpful. Thank you.
