Mente Argentina: University Spanish Program in Buenos Aires

If you're considering studying abroad in Argentina, I would recommend looking into Mente Argentina. My experience with them was very positive. From start to finish, their team was incredibly helpful and made the process seamless. They provided me with assistance in choosing the best program for my interests and needs, and they were always available to answer any questions I had. The program itself was great. The classes were engaging, the professors were knowledgeable and passionate, and the activities were a great way to immerse myself in Argentine culture. Mente Argentina also provided me with a wonderful homestay experience, which allowed me to practice my Spanish and learn more about daily life in Buenos Aires. What really impressed me was how affordable the program was. I was able to have an incredible study abroad experience without breaking the bank. I also wanted to share how impressed I was with Mente Argentina's ongoing support even years after my experience. Recently, I needed a copy of my transcript and they were able to help me retrieve it without any issues. Overall, I highly recommend Mente Argentina to anyone considering studying abroad in Argentina. Their team truly goes above and beyond to provide students with an unforgettable experience.

I just wanted to share my amazing experience studying abroad in Argentina with Mente Argentina! I can't recommend them enough if you're thinking about studying abroad. One of the things I loved about Mente Argentina was how personalized my experience was. They really took the time to get to know me and my interests, and tailored my program accordingly. Mente Argentina also provided me with so much support before, during, and after my program. They found me a great place to live, and even organized cultural immersion activities that helped me get to know the city and its people better. They also helped make sure that my transcripts were appropriately sent to my school, which I've learned is a huge deal when you're paying for credits. While my I was there, I traveled around Argentina with some of my new-found friends and visited Iguazu falls, which I highly recommend! Overall, my time with Mente Argentina was unforgettable. I met incredible people, improved my language skills, and gained a deeper understanding of Argentina's history and culture. If you're thinking about studying abroad, definitely consider Mente Argentina - they won't disappoint!

chose Mente after a lot of internet research, but really, one feels very nervous when they are spending a good chunk of money and then just hoping beyond hope that you have chosen the best overseas study program. What a relief it was to be hosted in Buenos Aires by the professional, fun and kind staff at Mente. They know what they are doing and they took care of everything I needed. My apartment was awesome and in a great (and safe!) part of town only a few blocks from the Mente head office. I stopped in for one thing or another and even though the advisors would be busy working, they always had time to help me and really make me feel at home. It gave me great comfort to learn that I could rely on them. From getting me a toaster to a toilet plunger, a blender and helping me book my weekend excursions and even helping me with my Spanish homework – the staff at Mente are tireless. The anxiety I had about being in a big city with beginner Spanish skills melted away the first couple of days when I knew I would be able to count on my new friends at Mente. The outings they plan for the group are so fun (and included in your fee!!), the University Spanish course I took was in a nice school and I was pleased with the whole experience. (I just received my official transcript from the University of BA) and the teachers and staff were just simply nice, accommodating, helpful and lovely. For one month I experienced the best of Argentina and because everything went off without a hitch, it will remain one of the best experiences of my entire lifetime.

Hey! My name’s Brianna and I’m from the United States, the state of Georgia. I spent a month over here doing the Intensive Advanced Spanish Program at the University of Belgrano and it was definitely pretty intensive but I had a good time with my classmates, and Buenos Aires is a great city. There are a lot of things to do and see – I was busy every weekend!

Hi, I’m Ana Paula and I’m from Brazil. I go to school in the United States and I came to Buenos Aires to do the Summer Spanish Program and I did it through the University of Buenos Aires and I really love my classes. My teacher, my classmates were so much fun every day, I really enjoyed going to class, I learned a lot and my Spanish improved. I love the city of Buenos Aires, I have been here before and I wanted to come back, and I am happy that I did and it was with Mente. Buenos Aires has so many things to do and having all the different barrios, just like going to one and then to the one next to it and the vibe is completely different, and I was able to enjoy that, and who knows? I might come back soon!

Hello my name is Hadley, and I did the University Spanish Program at UBA, which was probably my best decision ever, because it’s definitely the best cool. What I probably liked the most about my experience was living in the Student Resident, it was so great because every night we would have dinner together and literally it would be 20 of us sitting around the table and our momma would cook for all of us, I guess it was a lot of food, but she was great. We would hang together and tell our days, laugh, and thank our company every day. I highly recommend living at the residence, it was amazing.

Hola chicos, me llamo Leo, I am from Switzerland and I am 19 years old. I have been in Buenos Aires for 2 months now through Mente. I took Intensive Spanish courses. I chose to have a shared apartment with 3 other students from all over the world. Coming to Argentina was a big change from Switzerland, but I really enjoyed my experience here. The apartment I stayed was great, specially the location, we had everything we needed. Everything was good vibes in the city and the Mente Events, very helpful stuff, I really recommend the experience for anyone that wants to change their horizons, come to Argentina

Hi I’m Jenny and I took a 2 month program with Mente Argentina. I took University Spanish at the University of Belgrano. So, as soon as you get off the plane, Mente Argentina is involved, they picked you up, they give you a ride back and basically during your entire time they take you to events and stuff that you’ll be interested in such as tours and they are great at giving you suggestion with restaurants and stuff like that. I stayed at the residence with a host mom and roughly other 12 other American students. It was amazing food and there were always people to hang around with, so Mente was really great, I made a lot of friends and I felt like home here

Hi, I’m Louise and I did the University Spanish Program with Mente for a month. I am glad that I did it with Mente because being here only for a month would have been very overwhelming having to find an apartment and a phone, and how to figure out how to get from the airport, so it was great to have somebody else take care of those details. Mente has a lot of social events in which I met tons of fun people and they organize and are included in the program. It was a great way to not be lonely here; every dime spent was used very well. I really encourage everyone to join Mente because I really enjoyed my time here.

I’m Michael and I did the Mente’s Spanish Study Abroad Program and It was great. I lived in a great apartment, a great city for future participants. Try to get out there because it’s easy to be in the American or foreigners circle, but meeting locals and practicing my Spanish with Porteños was great. Polo and Soccer here are the best, so they were really cool to experience. The city itself is huge, don’t take it all at once, there’s so much to do, and I have to say the Spanish lessons were great and they definitely improved my Spanish in many different ways. I absolutely recommend the program to everyone!

Hi, I’m Philani from the Zimbabwe, I did the University Spanish Program and I find it a really great program because I find it relaxing and the staff was really helpful. One of the things I really like was the activities, going to Tigre and La Bomba de Tiempo, one of the most awesome shows in Buenos Aires.

Hi, I am Stefan and I was here for two months taking the University Spanish with Mente Argentina and we did a lot of activities, they organized everything and it was super easy. Now I’m leaving feeling like an Argentinean. Buenos Aires is a nice city is a loud city, but it’s a crazy city and people are very nice!

Hi, I’m Casi and my program was great, they were the two greatest months of my life and I don’t regret anything. It was a really great experience.

Hi, I’m Caitlin and I did the two months Spanish Program with Mente Argentina. I really liked Mente and all the activities they had for us, the Tigre tour had this awesome boat ride and I love the pub crawls, they were so much fun. Can’t wait to come back.

Hi, I’m Destiny and I enrolled with Mente underneath the study abroad program to study Spanish and I did study Spanish at UBA for a month. It was very different from the United States which I really enjoyed. Buenos Aires Spanish is very different from the one in the States. Mente is the best, they hosted awesome activities, I am not ready to go home and just a big shout out to the staff. I loved the city; if you come you have to come to La Boca, Tigre, Puerto Madero, just take as many tours as possible. I recommend Mente Argentina to everyone, the friends I met here I’m going to be keep for life. I really enjoyed all the activities; I loved the city tours and visiting the zoo. Me encanta Buenos Aires y no quiero regresar a los Estados Unidos!

Hi, I’m Korey and I did a month program for University Spanish. It was wonderful even though it was hard work. I learned so much, it was phenomenal. The Mente staff was great, I meet so many people in the residence and in the classes and I loved it. I pretty much went to every Mente activity! Come here with an open mind because you are going to be in a new culture, just have fun, a lot of these opportunities don’t come but once in a lifetime and you’ll learn a lot. Mente did a wonderful job with the living arrangement and being accommodating with students, just being there, we had a fantastic time together. Thank you.
