How long does it take to get a student visa?

How long does it take to get a student visa?
I'm asking because I have a friend in the Netherlands Antilles, St. Maarten (in the Caribbean). She wants to come up to Texas to finish her schooling, Junior and Senior year in high school. We know she needs to get a student visa and I'd just like to know how long it usually takes? An estimation is fine, don't need exact, thank you!

Student visa's for HS are only good for one year,if the school agrees to accept her. She will have to pay tuition to attend,probably around $8,000-$10,000 for the year. She should start now so she can come by her senior year.

the citys are expensive but really any city worldwide is the same ... but if u stay out of town its cheap .....u really need to put where abouts your going to stay ..
2 :
pay anywhere between 200 (single room about 16sqm) and 340 euros (room with kitchenette) generally furnished but not always with phone/internet, washingmachine etc. (and the laundromat is a huge 7euro per load!) check out www.duwo.nl the student housing agency that places tu delft exchange students. shopping, well, depends. milk is cheap but milk products are not. meat is generally 8 or 10euro/kg. i spend about 20euro easy just on basic groceries for the week. trains are kind of pricey, 12euro for a return ticket from delft to amsterdam, and thats with a discount card which costs 55euro to buy. 600euro per month for rent and food and going out etc. and youre well covered. but everyone's spending is different...hope it helps a bit!

Any good art or design schools in England or the Netherlands?

Any good art or design schools in England or the Netherlands?
For various reasons, including just wanting to experience life in some other part of the world, I've been having a burning desire to move to Europe. I've narrowed down on England or The Netherlands as possible locations. So I'm wondering what would be a good art or design school from these places? Particularly any that work with digital media or art direction, and any that are ideal for foreign students. If it helps any, I'm currently a junior digital media student at UCF in Orlando, Florida, USA. My career goal is to design for film, television, videogames and the like.

Well my first reaction was that there probably would not be such a course due to demand (or lack of) However, surprisingly there are courses available in English but it depends on your specialism. For example there are plenty of postgraduate courses e.g. in Biomedical science, medical biology, occupational therapy, but I could not find anything (just based on a quick search) in English at undergraduate level in this area. However, as I mentioned, this was a quick check, so here is the link to the NUFFIC site where there is a listing of the courses available for international students (in English) http://www.nuffic.nl/international-students/dutch-higher-education/search-international-study-programmes/search-study-programmes-in-english and you can take a look here for yourself. Good luck

I could not find one, perhaps to difficult or dangerous? I have a list of all the 13 universities, big and small. Try contact each of them to ask. Most other medical studies seem to be available. What counts for you are their plans for the first year that you could join. They are the only ones to be able to answer this straight but again, it may be prohibited. http://www.opleiding.net/kaart_universiteiten.html

Medicine is a so-called 'lotery' study. It means that there is a fixed number of places. Based on your grades (high school diploma) you get a weighing in 'the lottery' (e.g. if you have 80/100 avarage your chances to get in are much higher than on a 60/100 avarage). I don't think you will find the course in English, as there are already too many Dutch students that want to get in. Try Belgium (e.g. Antwerp) instead.
