Buenos Aires- Interesting and Educational Past Review
By Kara M (Community Health, New Mexico State University) for
BridgeAbroad: Buenos Aires - NMSU Language & Culture Program: Argentina, Summer
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Yes, it was. I met amazing people, improved my Spanish, and was able to see a new country. I decided to double major in Spanish instead of simply minoring in it.
