Argentina: Buenos Aires Summer

Universidad de Belgrano in Buenos Aires

Established in 1964, Universidad de Belgrano in the lovely Belgrano district of Buenos Aires enrolls around 11,000 students. In addition to the 9 academic departments on offer to matriculated students, it also boasts one of the best International Student programs in Argentina. UB's students come from across Argentina, Latin America, and the world--nearly a thousand international students are drawn to its programs. Modern facilities house classrooms and offices, and provide the base for numerous cultural and athletic activities.

Student Life

Interaction with locals and with other international students is key to a successful study abroad experience. Many campus activities, e.g., Noche Internacional, showcase UB's strong international student program. Joining a student club or sports team is a great way to meet local students--soccer, running and yoga are just a few options. Attending concerts, trying the tango, or spending a lazy Sunday afternoon picking through the colorful streets and flea market of San Telmo are just a few of the possibilities. There's so much to discover in and around Buenos Aires-one can even visit neighboring Uruguay for the day!

Housing

Homestays allow students to further develop their language skills outside of a classroom setting and increase their understanding of modern Argentine culture. The assigned host family is likely to live within easy reach of the university in a pleasant, secure neighborhood; the daily commute will be no more than a short bus ride or a reasonable walk. The home might be found in a century-old heritage structure or a contemporary apartment building. The program fee includes a private room with two meals per day (breakfast and dinner).
