Mente Argentina

I took a 2 month program in Argentina full of expectation, and all I can say is that I really accomplished all my goals.I improved my Spanish much more than I thought before coming. People are so kind and charming and I can't be more GRATEFUL with Mente Argentina, I met people from all over the world and I won't forget this experience EVER.

Dear Mente Argentina Staff, I'm very grateful with u guys. Our semester here was awesome; everybody has been very kind at the university. We took 3 classes at 'ITBA' University and we improved our Spanish as well. The trips we made were great specially the ones to Mendoza and Bariloche, where we met plenty of nice people. Love & hugs. X e Y. Don't cry for me Argentina&..I'll be back soon!!

Mente Argentina rocks! I really loved my experience in Argentina, and the Dj course was unbelievable, I finally can perform my sets with my own style. The program is fantastic, many thanks for all, especially to Mark and David who really helped me rescheduling the classes. PS: you should export Mente Argentina's card to England, hahaha.

I am 24 and I am from Germany. I arrived in Buenos Aires without speaking a word of Spanish, so I took intensive Spanish lessons for 1 month at Mente Argentina's school, I really loved the experience, where I learned Spanish, met new people, traveled around Patagonia, and got 6 credits for my university in Germany. I don't know when I will come back, but what I really know is that if I do, it is going to be with Mente Argentina.!

I loved everything about Buenos Aires and the Mente Argentina Semester Program. My shared apartment in Palermo was one of the best parts and I could not imagine a better study abroad experience (I also participated in a part-time internship arranged through Mente). Buenos Aires is a beautiful city and it was the perfect place to study abroad. Cool people, great staff, amazing places, wonderful culture! I feel that this Program really helped me to grow up; I learned more about myself than I ever imagined. The experience was more than I could have ever expected, and Mente Argentina was a huge part of making my study abroad trip a success. My apartment was incredible well located (Palermo Neighborhood). The excursions and activities (included in the program cost) took me all over the city; right away I immersed myself into the Spanish culture and found unique bars, museums, restaurants, and fun areas to hang out during the day and at night! A special thanks to Caitlin (my program coordinator in Buenos Aires), she was sooooo helpful, easy to approach, and a lot of fun to be around. She made my experience in Argentina so much more enjoyable! I can honestly say that the 6 months I lived in Buenos Aires was by far the best time of my life. I am already considering traveling with Mente again in the future, and would definitely recommend them.

I went on my first Spanish Program trip through Mente and it was nice to have a big official company behind me to offer advice and support before I went (gave my parents peace of mind). It was also brilliant to have an incountry coordinator to meet us at the airport and always be there to help! The schools are all very nice and well equipped. Nice people, good teachers. And I had a lot of fun. I liked my Spanish teacher Patricia who was very patient! She was easy to work with and I learned a lot. I would definitely recommend the language Spanish program if you want to learn or advance your Spanish. I also loved the fact that they offer shared apartments as primary housing as opposed to other companies that only offer student dorms or homestays. My apartment was also really nice (I got a huge room) located in a great area called Palermo. I met a few awesome people and had hundreds of experiences I'll never forget. Probably the best trip in my life. I would do another study abroad with Mente Argentina all over again.

I tried three different Study Abroad organizations and I have to say that Mente was definitely the best one.I absolutely loved my experience while I was in Argentina. First of all, any questions that I had before leaving (and I had quite a few!!) were answered immediately. They were extremely kind and helpful with any pre-departure issues or concerns that I had. The process of setting up this Program was simple thanks to Mente & the overall costs for this trip were surprisingly manageable! I took Spanish Language courses at UBA from 1-4 pm. The teacher I had was very attentive and helpful and the school had a nice atmosphere with lots of new friends gained. I would recommend Buenos Aires as a good place to learn Spanish as it has lots of good bars, restaurants and an incredible weather. They also got me an amazing apartment, right in the middle of Palermo! It's a top floor apartment (22nd floor!) with amazing views of the city (Located in Las Heras Street between Lafinur & Republica de la India). This apartment has 4 spacious individual rooms, 3 bathrooms and a huge living room with a nice LCD TV!. After I had been there for a couple weeks, they got into contact with me to make sure everything was OK! As for the staff, all of them are young, efficient and fun to party with. They picked me up from the airport upon arrival, answered all of my questions thoughtfully, and introduced me to several other participants that were taking different programs with them. My Program coordinator was even happy to connect me with local tourist groups and attractions. She was very knowledgeable, helpful, and kind!! Finally, they also had a great variety of activities where you could interact with other people doing the program such as City Tours, Bomba del tiempo (amazing!), Mente Nights, Bike Tours, etc. In short, my experience with this organization was amazing. They are low-cost, very thoughtful, organized, and eager to please their participants. I am already considering traveling with Mente again in the future, and would definitely recommend them. Thanks Mente and UBA! Greatest travel experience of my life (so far :)
