Where's the best place to study abroad for spanish?
I really am having a hard time deciding where I'd like to spend a some time studying spanish and studying nursing, I prefer not to have spain since there are different tenses you don't normally learn in school. I've been to Antigua, Guatemala and loved it and also Puerto Rico and spent some time in Miami. any people who've had first hand experiences would be much appreciated! thanks

Ummmmmmmmmmm. Spain. Where the language originated.
I lived in Sevilla. Best program available to me at the time…Program was right in the University, with Spanish students…I took several classes with them, NOT the ones that were set up for us foreigners. Did pretty well, too!
Madrid has some good Universities, as does Barcelona, and Salamanca, being the oldest University in the country, has that historic feature….
Good programs abound. Granada, Oviedo and Alicante have some really great schools, too.
And I know people who studied in Santander.
I would avoid the Basque country, as the people there are fiercely independent, and may not be as friendly about speaking Spanish. (DO NOT take that as a recommendation against visiting, though…pretty country! Great people! Incredible food (so I hear…I didn’t eat a lot there…mostly bread and butter! Seriously budgeted trip).) But I wouldn’t recommend studying there unless you want to learn Euskadi (or is it Euskara?)
I wouldn’t say the same of Galicia and Barcelona…everyone uses Castellano there, as well as knowing their own language.
