Study Abroad Programs in Argentina

I absolutely loved my experience, from the programs staff, to my host family to our planned; trips, classes and activities, all were fantastic! I entered the program with; a fair amount of exposure to spanish emersion environments, questionable but consistent background in spanish from high school, 2 semesters of college spanish and a year break between when I took spanish and when I went abroad. I also am dyslexic, so learning language in a classroom is more difficult for me. I was unique in my SIT student cohort, because almost everyone had more spanish credits then I did. At first the full emersion aspect of the program was overwhelming because it used so much energy to translate everything, while adjusting to learning my new day to day schedule. But it was definitely worth it to stick it out and probably my favorite aspect of the program. By the end of the semester I left feeling confident navigating and communicating in full emersion environment, a skill I’d abandoned mastering in a classroom due to my dyslexia. I would recommend this program to any and all!

Dear reader, do yourself a favor and apply! This study abroad opportunity was so phenomenal. I had previously studied abroad and this experience was by far the better experience due to the incredibly wonderful professors and staff in Buenos Aires, my wonderful host mom (and the wonderful host parents of my friends too), the fabulous city and wonderful friends I met. I had the opportunity to do the ISP option which was so rewarding -- I am so proud of what I came up with and grateful for all the support I received along the way. You will learn so much and have so much fun. DO IT.
