What are some really good universities in South America

What are some really good universities in South America?
I still have pre-med requirements I need to fulfill, and I really want to live in South America for a while (preferably around Peru/Ecuador, but any country will work). I speak French and Spanish but no Portugese (so Brazil is out). What are some really good universities down there? I don't care whether they're American style universities or real South American ones, I just want to live there Thanks!

University of Los Andes in Bogota. Excellent school with an excellent world wide reputation. http://www.uniandes.edu.co/

Universidad de Los Andes in Bogota is definitely an excellent university. I know you said south america, but if Mexico is an option I know some americans who don't make it into med school in the states usually attend med school in Mexico City to get their degree, I can't remember which one though.

university of buenos aires, in argentina is free and very good

can my one year old son go to school

can my one year old son go to school?
Hi, I have a baby boy. He is 13 months old and he doesn't interact with many people because I don't have any family in california so it's only him and me all day until his daddy comes home from work. I am from Peru and over there we have schools for babies starting 6 months old, it's called early education. I was wondering if there's such thing here in Los Angeles. I would love to take my baby so he can have a head start and also he could interact with more kids. Thanks a lot!

here its called day care

he1!s nah
3 :
Day Care, but at 13 months they still need that bonding time with mom and dad
4 :
No, don't do that. Children need to stay with their parents a good while before going to school. That's why we don't have schools till three years old and they're not required to go until they're five.
5 :
Your local library should have a story time for his age group. I went because none of my friends have kids yet. But I made lots of friends at story time, so did my son. We have been going for almost a year!
6 :
A lot of churches have programs for one or two days a week for a few hours that your son could play with others and you could meet moms, or just have a break. Sometimes they call it Mom's Day Out, or MOPS (mothers of pre schoolers). Your local library is a good place to find out what other community activities are around your area. Ask them. It is good for children to be around other children sometimes. Good Luck to you.
7 :
try a mommy and me class. he will get social interaction there is also day care but that's not really a good idea

IRS tax rules for foreign private pension funds? Tax gurus, please help!

IRS tax rules for foreign private pension funds? Tax gurus, please help!?
I am a Peruvian citizen, and lived/worked in Peru until 2002. While I worked in Peru I participated in the mandatory Private Pension Fund contribution through a deduction in each of my paychecks. By the time I left Peru my balance was only around $2,000 and I totally forgot about it. I moved to the US in 2002 and have filed my taxes as a Non Resident Alien (on student visa) until the year 2006; starting in 2007 (H-1B visa) I started filing as a Resident Alien. I understand that starting in 2007 I am taxed on worldwide income. Last week I just remembered about the $2K balance I had in my Peruvian pension fund and inquired about my new balance - It is now $12,000!!!. This means I have had earnings on my contributions. The Peruvian law doesn't let me withdraw my funds until I am 65 years old. Questions: 1) Do I have to pay taxes on the earnings that I am accruing each year on that Peruvian Private pension fund? Should I have done this since 2007? 2) Do I need to file TD F 90-22.1./ FBAR and declare my foreign account since now I have more than $10K? Thanks a lot for your help tax experts! Thanks Tro! So I will only declare income when I withdraw - How about reporting it through FBAR? I read there is this IRS regulation that asks me to report any type of financial account (not only bank accounts) if they are above $10K - Any insights on this? I also read in an International Tax Expert site that the plan would need to meet US qualification rules in order not to get taxed until withdrawal? The issue is that I still can't understand these rules! IRC 402 (b), 409 (a), etc. - too confusing! Thanks for your help tax experts!

you will declare the income on the retirement when you take distribution, you don't need to claim any income on it during the years it is in the account, that will all be handled when you take distribution and if you are taxed on world wide income even as resident alien, I am not aware of this, I know that US citizens are but didn't know non citizens were---learn something new all the time

Acutally, you CAN get Peruvian pension before you're 65 if you've lived outside of Peru for 5 years. You'll have to go to Peru or give someone a carta de poder, prove that you'er in the US legally, and show them a contract from your work, and the pension scheme that you want Peru to deposit your money, from Peru, to the US pension scheme.
