It was the most worthwhile experience of my life. I have never felt like a more complete version of myself. I gained family, I gained friends, I gained language abilities. I gained confidence in myself and I feel like a happier, more loving person post abroad. A student - Amherst College View Entire Review
I learned Spanish of course and I learned a lot about Argentina's difficult economic/political situation from a local perspective. It was absolutely worthwhile A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I became fluent in the language A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained language skills, friendship, and cultural understanding, but I think I most of all gained confidence, patience and truly a new outlook on life. It was not easy!! I had to push myself in a lot of new ways but I feel so grateful to have experienced Buenos Aires for the semester. sophia g - Middlebury College View Entire Review

I believe I was able to improve my listening and speaking during my time in Argentina. I’m not certain that my reading or writing have improved—at least in the academic sense. I also had the opportunity to explore myself as a person during hardships. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to be more independent, I learned more "street skills" (navigation, safety, etc), I became a better cook, I learned how to take risks, I learned the language. It was very worthwhile A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to live abroad! How to soak in everyday experiences and see the beauty and importance of living in other people's realities. I learned a language that I have always wanted to learn, but struggled to really master in the traditional classroom. I learned that the study of memory and collective history is incredibly i...

A ton. New perspectives on my own life, better understanding of who I am as a person and what I want in my life (mostly just reaffirmed what I thought before), Spanish language ability A student - Pomona College View Entire Review
My Spanish improved an incredible amount, I gained more self confidence, and I learned all about a new country, of which I previously had no knowledge. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
To begin with my Spanish improved massively, picking up local nuances and a porteño accent. I have continued to pursue my interests there such as jiu jitsu while also developing new ones such as Tango. I had the opportunity to tap into my social side much more and made many great friends all around the world whom I still keep in... Frederick M - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Definitely a worthwhile experience. Gained a lot of linguistic experience + perspective around the world around me. Ben W - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Argentinian culture and language, and found the experience of both daily life out of the house and academics in Buenos Aires worthwhile. Clara B - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I drastically improved my Spanish and learned lots about a culture that is very distinct to mine, from political history to food to social life. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review

It was worthwhile and a life-changing experience. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned that I am in control of all parts of my life and the sooner I recognize that, the sooner I can live the life I have always wanted. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review

My Spanish language skills improved. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learnt the importance of going into new experiences with the least amount of expectations possible. Very worthwhile! Athena Haywood - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension skills, and I learned about my major (International and Global Studies with a regional focus in Latin America) from a different perspective. It was worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
About
Argentina, the largest Spanish-speaking country in the world, known locally as "The Land of the Six Continents" for its geographic and climatic diversity, has a long and fascinating history and is a major economic and political power in South America.
The capital city, Buenos Aires, famous for its 47 historically and culturally distinctive neighborhoods such as La Boca and La Recoleta, is arguably the most cosmopolitan city on the continent, largely as a result of a wave of European immigration in the early 20th century. Almost half of the population of 36 million Argentines are said to live in Greater Buenos Aires and its province. Even so, the city is renowned for its parks and squares, which give it a sense of spaciousness. A major economic and political center, it is also a lively and cultured city with a European feel.
While in Buenos Aires, students take courses alongside their Argentine peers at one of three of Argentina's most respected universities: the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa, the Universidad de Buenos Aires, and the Universidad Torcuato di Tella.
