Unfortunately I have no idea about visas, because I am both a UK and SAfrican citizen, I wouldnt need any... but yeah the place is really good I've flown from there a couple of times. The only downside that I can see is that its quite a bit from PE itself, and I gathered that the life inside thegates is pretty quiet- but this would only encourage more studying i presume! give them a ring and maybe talk to them, theyre friendly people. And weather is hot hot hot
