    Studying in colombia
    My parents are originally from Colombia i've been going there on holiday every summer since i was born, we only speak spanish at home. All those factors have got me thinking about maybe moving back or at least giving it a shot, i'd really like to go to university there mainly because i feel i've been neglecting my colombian heritage but also because im pretty sure thats where i want to set up my life.

    One of my only worries is that although my spanish has been enough to get me by for the past 17 years and decent enough to get me an A* at GCSE (im currently doing Alevel spanish) im certain it isn't good enough for university, so i was wondering if anybody knew what i could do, am i better off contacting the universities seeing if they offer some sort of integration course? I've been having trouble finding advice online so if anybody can give me some links that would be great, or even better if any of you know of any sort of prep schools where i could get my spanish up to a decent standerd to study at uni there that would be great, or if i could even get my secondary school equivalency in colombia?

    Maybe you should have a look at Universia Colombia: http://www.universia.net.co

    In Latin America, equivalencies are usually made at Ministry of Education. So you could find the website of the Ministry of Education in Colombia and ask for further details.

    I found that they even have their FB: https://www.facebook.com/MineduColombia

    I may have found the right website: http://www.gobiernoenlinea.gov.co/tr...spx?traID=3518
