I want to work abroad after college doing an internship. Im a business management major from a small school in south florida looking to understand a new culture. Where would be a good place to stay? I know a little spanish, and I dont think that living conditions will bother me too much.

Also, does anyone know if rosetta stone and those other computer programs actually work for learning a new language?

First of all, before leaving college, it would be a good idea to learn how to spell modern English…. i.e. “Florida” and “Spanish”, etc.
Going to England would be a “new culture”, but not very. Cuba is out, because Castro does not like “business management” — nor “business” either. How about Mexico, Belize or Argentina?
You really should fine-tune your Spanish, the next language of North America — well, as far north as Montreal, in any case.
I have no experience with the “Rosetta Stone” program, but I have learned three foreign languages by being there. Try that.

What about Germany? It’s the best economy in Europe, amazing culture (but not a culture shock), and most residents speak English so you wouldn’t be pressured to learn German too quickly. Its a business language, and there are lots of options of internships there.
Rosetta Stone works for some, and for others it doesn’t. It uses the method of how we learn our first languages as babies, by immersing us in it rather than memorization. But since it’s so much money, I’d recommend taking courses at a community college or you can use livemocha.com which is the same idea but free. You could even buy some books like ‘German for Dummies’. Good luck.
