Review

Do the month long high school program in BA, Argentina with Arcos. My son spent the whole month of July in Argentina living with a family, taking Spanish classes, making new friends and participating in cultural activities like visits to art museums, cooking classes, horseback riding, Tango lessons and a show, and visiting Colonia, Uruguay. Since he doesn’t drive yet and doesn’t want to go to camps anymore this was the ideal experience for him. Arcos is extremely professional, and they are good communicators. The program director in Buenos Aires was very communicative with us while our son was there. We originally were looking at an 8 week program with YFU, but we decided the application process was too laborious and 8 weeks was a bit long for his 1st experience abroad by himself. He made some great friends while he was there, they did a lot of activities hanging out in Buenos Aires. He loved the freedom and taking the metro. He now is obsessed with living in a "walkable" city in the future. He always felt safe, but he said he had to be aware of his surroundings. Go do this program if you are flexible, have a sense of curiosity and adventure about the world!!!!!!!

Would you recommend this program?
