Study Abroad Made Easy!

Arcos was an amazing experience, they made exploring a foreign city and a different culture an amazing experience! The directors were amazing, they knew the city very well and were able to give us guided tours that were very informative. Arcos was very helpful in the program fee all of our accommodations booked and an entire itinerary and our program leader kept in constant communication with us keep us updated daily. The excursions by Arcos were amazing as well as the academic side. Learning a different language is not easy but by being immersed in the language it makes it significantly easier.

Study Abroad Experience at La Unversidad de Belgrano with Arcos Learning Abroad

Academics:

My Experience at La Universidad de Belgrano is without a doubt the reason why I am fluent in Spanish today. The professors are experienced, kind and super easy to talk to. The curriculum is both engaging and comprehensive, as well as unique in that it has a focus on Argentine culture.

Support:

I never felt lost at La Universidad de Belgrano, or with Arcos. Our professors, university faculty and program directors were always open to speak with and give a helping hand whenever it was needed.

Fun:

Buenos Aires is unparalleled in my opinion when it comes to stuff to do. Whether you enjoy nightlife, museums, nature walks, fine dining, street food, comedy shows, ballets, plays, concerts or tango lessons - it truly does offer it all.

Housing:

During my study abroad I stayed with a host mother - Muchy, who I am still in contact with to this day! Staying with a host mother was a great way to get more history and perspective on the city and country - I am super glad I did it.

Safety:

Safety is like in any other big city, as long as you keep your wits about you, you will be fine. I personally never felt unsafe or had any unsavory run-ins of any kind. I did get my bike stolen, but that is because I left it outside without a lock!

Pros
  • Awesome City
  • Great for Learning Spanish
  • Experienced and Genuinely Caring Program Directors
Cons

Argentina

My experience in Argentina was one I will never forget. Being able to immerse myself in the language and the culture was amazing. I do wish the sheet that was given to us was actually fulfilled and we did all the things you guy saiid we were going to do. I also wish there was more of a backup check on the people that do housing because I feel like the ARCOS staff really don't know each other the way they should know one another. Raul and Patricia were amazing and truly made it an experience that is unforgettable.

Pros
  • Spoke spanish all day
  • Raul was amazing
  • living was close to subte to go anywhere
Cons
  • doesn't do a good background check on housing people

Arcos Learning Abroad in Buenos Aires

I just spent the last four months living in Buenos Aires studying abroad for a semester with Arcos. They are seriously the best program ever!! Very affordable considering the options while still including many excursions and events. The programming happened about once a week where we did all kinds of fun events in the city and also in other places (like Uruguay!). The homestay that I was placed in was so lovely and my host mom was very attentive and understanding. Arcos made it very easy for me to learn how to navigate the city and make it to school everyday. I did not struggle with any of my classes, but Arcos made it very clear to me that I could get help with any issues I encountered academically. Raul, my program director, always made me feel like I was a part of his family which helped me tremendously with my homesickness. Seriously this program is so so amazing and I HIGHLY recommend using Arcos!!

Pros
  • Affordable
  • Diverse programming
  • Understanding and attentive staff
