This program allowed me to not only participate in classes abroad, but in the working environment of Buenos Aires through the internship. I was able to meet people through a different outlet than just the international school we took classes in. It was worthwhile. Shivani - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
I gained Spanish skills by simply being in the city and doing things that I needed to do to survive, such as walking around, speaking to locals, and doing chores. I also felt excluded form the CEA program because they mainly focused on the students that were in the CEA center and excluded the students at the university.

Improved all kinds of skills: Spanish language, adaptation, communication, leadership, independence, diet expansion. Vincent Mills - Siena College View Entire Review

As cheesy as it may sound, I honestly feel like I did change this semester. I feel like I became more independent and I learned more about myself. Since the CEA academics were rather easy, I used my free time to focus on more paths of self-discovery. Buenos Aires changed me for the better. Elena Piech - Ithaca College View Entire Review

Be willing to go with the flow, and always expect the unexpected. Friends, amazing nights, and great learning experiences lie where you least expect it. Part of me belongs to Buenos Aires, and I will be taking a piece of Buenos Aires with me. The experience was well worth my time: the staff was caring and engaged, I discovered a...

I learned how to live independently, to take on any challenge without being afraid of messing up or embarrassing myself, and to adapt to unfamiliar situations and customs. It was the most worthwhile experience of my life. Melissa H - University of Miami View Entire Review

I learned so much about the world and the people in it. Elizabeth Fernandez - University of Michigan - Ann Arbor View Entire Review
Working at Brincar, a local nonprofit, not only gave me language proficiency, but also the valuable opportunity to do something meaningful to effect change while abroad. I learned what my limits and capabilities are, and was stretched and challenged to lead programming all in my second language. My internship also allowed me to...
