very worthwhile, very enriching. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
The opportunity to explore, see the world through a different language, see so many different sides of the city, look at the US from an outsider's point of view, valuable economic insights and a look at how people manage through economic crises. Jacob G - Brandeis University View Entire Review
it taught me how to be okay with just exploring by yourself Anthony R - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Through such an integral immersion into Argentine culture, i also learned about my A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent-- something that you'd imagine you already know but most definitely do not until going abroad. You learn how to be by yourself and enjoy that time, how to put yourself out there to meet new people, and how to dive into a culture in a way that goes past textbooks and pictures. Oriana - Wheaton College, MA View Entire Review
I improved my Spanish (particularly my speaking skills) and confidence navigating a foreign city alone. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I chose a program in a Spanish-speaking country for the language immersion, but the reason I specifically chose Argentina was the literary scene in Buenos Aires. A well-travelled aunt promised that I would love the urban atmosphere and the unbelievable literary culture of the city (there's an independent bookstore almost every t...

It was incredibly worthwhile. I learned a lot about Argentina's history and culture and made some incredible connections. Alec D - Northwestern University View Entire Review
How to make my own connections, even though I knew no one. A student - Vassar College View Entire Review
I felt at home in BsAs because I was welcomed into the Armenian community, but I had friends who found communities playing sports, or videogames, or dancing, so it was clear that going out and involving yourself in cultural spaces is worthwhile, even if it might be scary at first. Elena Lucine LeFevre - Bard College View Entire Review
I learned a new kind of independence and a lot about myself and how I interact with people. It was definitely worthwhile. Leah Weaver - Hamilton College View Entire Review
How to go with the flow - very valuable for coming back to senior year/the job search in the US Kate Rhodes - Macalester College View Entire Review
I learned that I'm ready to move on form college. It was a little difficult coming back to school having had so much independence abroad. ivette0607 - Scripps College View Entire Review
I definitely learned a lot about Argentine culture, including food, social behaviors, ways of living, and the language. I realized that I would probably thrive in a city like Buenos Aires. I also gained insight into various institutional issues that exist in the country. Josefina C - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I gained a lot of traveling experience past Buenos Aires from trips planned by the program and personal trips because it was really simple to travel around Argentina. I also learned a lot more Spanish being immersed in Buenos Aires, continuously reading and speaking Spanish. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Expanded my perspective and experiences and I made lifelong connections. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My semester in Buenos Aires was a lifechanging experience. My IFSA classes especially enhanced this experience by teaching me about the history and culture of Argentina. It was 100% worthwhile! A student - Tulane University View Entire Review
I became fluent in Spanish which was my reason for studying abroad in South America. Also, I learned how to navigate a city, and traveling alone and just felt so incredibly capable. I became a lot more confident in myself and my abilities to problem solve and meet new people. hk62 - Emory University View Entire Review
Because of my semester in Buenos Aires, I am even more aware of the importance of the human connection, understanding the different ways that people engage with others across societies, the importance of remaining curious, and the urgency of truly listening to others, even if their opinions or practices are different than my own... Alexis Freeman - Amherst College View Entire Review
I gained friends, increased my Spanish fluency, conducted research and completed an internship that has been useful for future internships and jobs, and learned more about policy/politics in Latin America that has influenced by academic career at my home university. A student - Duke University View Entire Review
I learned to be braver and to go outside my comfort zone more. It was definitely worthwhile. Nadira Berman - University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review
i grew a lot. it was so worth it. Daniel Patrick Murphy - Bates College View Entire Review
I learned I could live independently and that there really is a world out there with big possibilities for me. Christian Flores - Illinois College View Entire Review
Not only did I improve my Spanish skills and learn about Argentinian culture during my time abroad, but I gained so much independence and learned how to navigate through unfamiliar situations. Being able to follow along and earn good grades in college class with Argentinians was such a booster for my language skills. I feel so ... Lauren C - Brandeis University View Entire Review
