Spanish college education rep
Dear basilers, i need your advice desesperately;
Im on the time to make decisions for where to go to college. I live in Colombia and we have the #7 university in Latin America called Los Andes, it is very demanding academically. On the other hand i have the opportunity to go to Spain to the University of Barcelona, far above Los Andes in Rankings and the best in Spain, but it is not as demanding academically. Would you prefer to go and study in Barcelona the undergrad? Or go to the more academically demanding college here in Colombia? I am planning on studying Computer Science, or informatic engineer.
Furthermore, what is your overall idea of what place has the best credentials?

The first thing that needs to be known: what exactly are you going for career-wise? Rankings seldom matter as each university has their own strengths above each other regarding specific fields. You really shouldn't make a decision based solely on rigor rankings.
