I keep reading about 20 hours a week needed on a student visa. Is that for launguage schools?

I have been excepted to Schiller International University.

Full time there is between 12-18 hours a week.

But I was only planning on taking 12 hours as it is a graduate program and I do not want to over extend myself.

I also keep reading about buying a round trip ticket, does that mean I will need to buy one with an open ended return date?

How do I go about this?

If you have a student visa pasted into your passport then you don't need the round-trip ticket. Those who are entering with a tourist visa need to have a ticket leaving Spain.

Almost no one is in class 20 hours a week... When I first got my student visa the paperwork said 16 hours a week. Ever since then, I've studied around 12-16 hours a week. As long as the papers state that you have been accepted and are matriculated as a full-time student studying for a degree, you shouldn't have any problems.
