Now, in all fairness, they ARE allowing more people to go in on short-term visas to study English at academies, but if you want a university education and need to go for more than eleven months, you're going to have a harder time.
Sad but true.

Another reason to get working on your English...
...if you're not from an EU country, and need a visa to study in the United Kingdom, you won't be given one if your English isn't good enough.

Get the help you need.
Juan and I just had an interesting chat about the whole Bolonia treaty. I don't fully understand the ideas and consequences of the treaty, but it promises to change the way university students in Spain are forced to work.
One of the things Juan always mentions: Students in Spain could use a lot of help developing and refining their study skills. As teachers, we always try to offer continuous feedback and improvement. But don't just listen to us. There are lots of useful resources on the internet that can help you study smarter, not just study better. Here's one I found this morning which is positive, upbeat, and has tons of great information.

Remember the quote from "The Matrix:" I can show you the door, Neo, but YOU have to walk through it.
