Buenos Aires: An Acquired Taste

Yes. While I was there I experienced a broad range of emotions (like everyone I suppose), with a lot of them being negative. The fact that my girlfriend and I were going through hard times made it that much harder for me. I set unrealistic expectations for myself and so was disappointed when I didn't achieve some of them. It...

Buenos Aires: A Beautiful European Influenced City With All The Best Aspects Of South America

I learned a lot about myself that has positively impacted my life. Being in unfamiliar situations really shows a lot about yourself and how you handle situations. It was really worthwhile to have the experience of being a foreigner living in a country and learning all that comes with that. I have always wanted to teach English a...

Argentina: The Country Of Wonders

My study abroad experience was the most amazing thing I did in my college career! I would never trade this experience! I am more willing to be on my own and travel without feeling needy or lost. I enjoy adventure and cannot wait to graduate to explore some more!

Argentina: Discovering The Freedom Of Youth Culture

I've never had more fun in my life than my semester at the Universidad de Belgrano. Interesting academics, great people in the study abroad program (people who choose to study abroad and choose to do it in the same place share an incredible bond), great cultural opportunities, and a great support staff made the experience fantas...

I Cant Wait To Go Back To Argentina!!!

I have family in Central America, but I had never been to South America before studying abroad in Argentina. I fell in love with the people, the culture, and the opportunities to explore. While in Argentina, I traveled throughout not only Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and Salta, but even Chile, Peru, and Uruguay. The people I met an...

Isa Buenos Aires: An Amazing Welcome To The Real World

The majority of problems I had were self-created. There are plenty of resources for everybody to have a great time, from traveling to playing a sport at the university. I learned what's it like to not feel like an American (although this term is offensive since South Americans are also Americans) and to live in a world where you...

If I Could Study Abroad In Buenos Aires, Argentina Every Semester I Would!

Worthwhile is a bit of an understatement here. My study abroad experience exceeded my expectations tenfold and it was by FAR the coolest experience of my life. I wish I could do it all over again! I have so many memorable experiences, and I've made really great friends in Argentina and all over the United States!

International Studies In Argentina: Changing Perspectives, Creating Opportunities

Studying abroad absolutely changed my life. Studying in a different country really opened my eyes to the cultural differences and American biases that have been instilled in me for so many years. I learned so much about myself and the way I interact with other people, especially in new and challenging social environments. Academ...

Buenos Aires: I Can Hardly Wait To Return

It was absolutely worthwhile. It was a wonderful, challenging, complicated, fascinating experience. I learned a lot -- about Argentina, Latin America, the world, and myself -- not all of it even yet known to me.

Argentina: Mi Amor!!

Definitely worthwhile! I plan on studying abroad again! My teacher could not have said it better, "we are all the same, just different." You gain a new perspective on life and you come to find out that you really do only have one life and you better make it count. So experience all life has to offer and accept every culture eve...

(No Title)

I've decided to change my major (Chemistry -> Cognitive Sciences) because I decided I do actually like people. I really want to continue traveling. I learned how to be independent and more emotionally stable.

(No Title)

My study abroad experience was absolutely worthwhile. I gained so much from the trip; language skills, confidence, friends, great memories, and a great love of Buenos Aires Argentine culture, and Argentine people in general.
