=== Spain ===
Easily the awesomest place ever--especially The two largest cities are Madrid and Barcelona. Both have their advantages, Madrid is alright, but I mean, really, Barcelona has the beach and the arguably more attractive peoplespanish. Barcelona is one of the most walkable cities in Spain, a bit frenchy but everything is just right. Also, it doesn't help that Real Madrid sucks.
NoteOther places to study in Spain: this is clearly a partisan battle between those who went to Madrid and those who went to Barcelona. Seems like everyone's happy with the place s/he went. (People have also loved Sevilla, Granada, and Salamanca!).
Also, Barcelona apparently has the highest petty crime rate in Europe. Do you want to study abroad and get mugged? I thought not--I would guess you'd feel terrible. (Your dad would too.)
