I've been considering a degree at the UAM due to the fact its incredibly cheaper than in the US. Any thoughts if this is a good idea?

The tuition of the Universidad Autonoma De Madrid in Madrid, Spain is less costly than that of here in the United States and it offers and undergraduate in physics which I'm interested in pursuing.

The Universidad Autonoma De Madrid in Madrid is cheaper than all 1,845 colleges and universities in the US? If it's affordable and you like the University, what is there to discuss? :smile:

Are you fluent in Spanish? Really fluent - enough to handle complex ideas like you will get in a physics class?
