"Buenos Aires is a fantastic city in which to study abroad. The people
are in general very open, which makes integrating there easier than in
places where people are more reserved. Also, the city offers basically
everything there is, with tons of museums, theatres, shopping, amazing
restaurants and cafes, places to go out at night...Buenos Aires has it.
As far as the program is concerned, it's well thought-out and organized
and provides a great support system while still giving you as much
freedom as you want." |

"Studying for three months in Buenos Aires has been one of the best
experiences of my life. The city itself is amazing--there is always
something to do and somewhere to go. The people here are also
terrific.They are incredibly friendly and love meeting foreigners to
share their views on Argentina and the rest of the world. The culture
of Latin America is so distinct from the United States that I have had
a quite an eye opening semester. Every night I go to sleep somewhat
amazed by the various interactions I have had throughout the day. It
has truly been a wonderful learning experience, as well as a whole lot
of fun." |
