Universities in Bogota

Has anyone ever taken a course/program at one of the Universities in Bogota, particularly Universidad de los Andes. Is it possible for a foreigner to take a course for a brief time there? Is it cheap? What about the semesters - from when to when do they run??

hi! i studied in los Andes for 4 years, i was majoring Industrial Design...now i'm in the states!
yeah is very common see international students taking courses at school, i dunno how much would be to take a course for a international student, but my semester was about $ 3.500 dollars , around $ 7.000 per year, and the summer courses were between $ 300 dollars and $ 600. the semesters runs from the second week from January to the middle or end of may, then vacations from may to the second week of august, and from the second week of august to the second week of december.

thanks MaG. Would that be the cost in US dollars or Colombian pesos?
