Santiago, Chile

I had a lot of fun in Santiago, Chile. It has a robust public transport system, so I was able to see a lot of the city. For the most part, I was engaged in my classes. I liked all of my professors and the actual area around campus and my home were a lot of fun to be in. There was plenty to do in Santiago. I felt safe most of the time. There is a bit of a problem with pick pockets, especially on the subways. One of the students in our program had her phone stolen, and a couple of others dealt with attempts. However, we were properly briefed about it and I felt more or less safe and prepared as long as I maintained minimum vigilance. My Santiago semester was my favorite semester in my college career.
