Why study in Buenos Aires?
There are four basic reasons why someone might choose to study in Buenos Aires:
1) It's a modern, cosmopolitan city with a broad variety of things to do and places to see. (For more information, see Buenos Aires Info.)
2) The economic situation of Argentina means that this city is extremely affordable. For most foreign visitors, you'll find most prices to be about one-third, or even one-fourth, of what they would be in your home country. At the moment Argentina is, comparatively speaking, one of the cheapest Latin American countries to visit. This means even on a limited budget, you'll be able to take advantage of your time here in every possible way.
3) It's the gateway to travel and discovery of Argentina 's natural wonders. A list of the places within less than three hour's air travel are: the Iguazú falls, the largest system of waterfalls in the world; the glaciers of El Calafate in the ice-capped region of the southern Andes; the highest Andean peaks in the province of Mendoza; whale-watching and penguin colonies in the coastal area near the city of Puerto Madryn; the desert country of Salta, with its colored mountains, spicy food, and folkloric culture; the mountain lakes of Bariloche and San Martín de los Andes. Amongst others. Studying in Buenos Aires is a great opportunity to combine study with travel.
4) The people, in general, are friendly and love to meet foreigners. This is extremely important when you are learning a language, since it means that you'll be given lots of opportunities to speak and learn the language outside of class.
