Choosing the Right College/International Universities

Question
I was wondering if there are existing international universities or colleges that
accept students from foreign parts of the world. To be more specific I live in
the United States and am interested in studying (undergraduate) at a school
in Mexico/Argentina (or anywhere in Latin America). I am a native spanish
speaker and is interested in either a spanish or english speaking school. Do
schools in those countries accept foreign students?

Answer
Julia,

I am certain that many overseas schools will take American students. If you opt for instruction in the Spanish language, the school will probably have you take some type of test to make sure that your Spanish will pass muster (same as schools here do for students from overseas).

If you are thinking of a particular career long term, you may want to make sure that a degree from abroad will be accepted. This might be true for things like teaching, police work, medical fields, etc.
