Review

Córdoba is a city in movement. There's always something going on, yet it doesn't have the hectic and caotic feel like Buenos Aires. Córdoba's big, but it takes you in, it's homey. I couldn't have asked for a better study abroad experience.

For me, the best part about travelling with Spanish Studies Abroad was that they give you a very solid base to start off from, but allow you to make your experience what you want it to be. They set everyone up with a family and are very willing to work with you to make sure you're comfortable. Apart from that, the Speaking Partners program sets every student up with an Argentine partner to give you a kickstart into integrating yourself into Argentine culture. This is the base that they give you, but after that it's up to you to decide what to do with your experience, how far to immerse yourself, whether to focus on just Spanish studies with the other international students, leaving you with plenty of time to explore other parts of the culture, or to challenge yourself further by taking a class or two at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba with other Argentine students, which is definitely harder, but gives you a truer experience in the life of an actual Argentine student.
With this program, they make sure you're taken care of, so that you can enjoy to the max the warm people, the "buena onda", and everything else that Córdoba has to offer.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
