warito comments on Studying in Bogota

First, if you want to learn spanish, cartagena is not the place. Instead, Bogotanos speak the best spanish in the world (at least we like to think that), anyway everybody has its own accent. Universities are pretty good, but your degree would not be valid in canada, most of degrees. Los Andes U. is the most expensive (5k U$ a semester), super high class people and it is supposed to be the one with better international relations. El Rosario, Externado, Javeriana are high middle class very good also (3k U$ a semester) and good relations abroad. La Universidad Nacional, is the best public university, it's really good, but is public and the biggest problem is the inestability for reasons like fundamentalist comunist students and some unaddapted people that regularly makes the university collapse - I would not recommend it to a gringo son of a gold businessman. The opportunitties are in bogota, the money is in bogota, almost everything is in bogota. and everything is not further than an hour by airplane.
