Study in Rosario

Mar 21, 2017

I went to Rosario not really knowing what to expect from the city, program, or people. Everything was amazing. The city is not very touristy so it is a great environment to learn Spanish even outside of the classroom. It is a city very similar to Portland. The climate is relatively similar and it is located right on the river. There were a lot of good restaurants to eat at, especially the ones included in the program for lunch. We became close with the managers from our favorite restaurant, and were sad to leave them. There were a lot of places to shop at, touristy and not so touristy, and everything was decently close. If you did not want to walk somewhere taxis are very safe and very cheap.
The home stay was great. I stayed with a mom and her daughter (who was about 45 years old) and they were both very welcoming. They always had advice about what to do on the weekends and made the best food. This also helped improve my Spanish because they did not really speak English. They knew a few words but not enough to be able to converse.
My Spanish improved a lot during such a short period of time (I only did the 5 week program although I wish I would have done the 10). All of the professors are very willing to help you with whatever question you had, and I felt that it was a lot more beneficial learning from someone who spoke Spanish as their first language. I also got to learn a lot about the history of Argentina which is very interesting. Overall, the experience was amazing. I met a lot of great people and I learned a lot, even about myself.

What is your favorite travel memory?

To walk on the UO campus and hear students who were in the Rosario Program call my name to say hello to me. Also to receive return students who come back to Rosario to see old friends and visit us.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Working on international education reinforces our ideas about building a better world for the future. Understanding each other's culture is always the first step!

Books cannot replace the emotions created by the fact of living and getting to know other´s culture.

And also we gain a new perspective of our own culture .

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would choose Oviedo, in Spain, because I have studied Spanish literature a lot, and I am thankful to Spanish culture for the beautiful language Spain has spread in different Latin American countries, including my country, Argentina.

Different nuances and characteristics developed in our languages along the centuries which makes the fact of learning them even more attractive.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

All of the members in our Rosario Staff are very much involved in our job. We all understand we are dealing with a very precious "substance" which is a young person´s spirit, in a special time which is when they are developing into a honorable citizen and person.

Faculty and student coordinators, in addition to myself, are always close to the students to answer their questions and help them in what they need. Home stays are also a big success here, I specially select them!

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

To be deeply engaged in our work. To think about the students and their needs first of all, always!
