Studying in Cuba; Need some opinions

Creating opportunities for ones children is a conditio sine qua non. But on this matter I need some thoughtful comments :woot: .

My daughter (20 years) may participate in a students' exchange program between Cuba and Belgium :singdance: .
I think this might be a lifetime experience for her: a completely different climate, political environment, cultural immersion, whatever.

I have no problems with her going to Cuba, I have no issues at stake with Cuba. The problem is that I and my daughter know 'zip' about 'living and studying' in Cuba (Havana that would be).

So I would very much appreciate any thorough advice on : housing, medical care, internet access, jou just name it :help: .
My daughter is to stay there from September 2009 till January 2010 in order to improve her Spanish communicative skills (she's doing her master 'interpretor Spanish/French/Dutch').

I don't need the 'Good-for-her"-stuff :blah: .
All I need is reliable information which a student (and in this case her parents) may want.

Thanks for your input :thumb: !

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
Wim, I think you may get some help from our non-USA members. With the state of US-Cuba relations in most of our lifetimes, I'd say we really know very little about it.
