Buenos Aires 2014

The city of Buenos Aires has a lot to offer for students and travelers alike. There is always something to do whether its browsing shops in Palermo, roof top lunches, to taking part in cultural events. ISA offers excursions that truly make the experience one of a kind. We took a ferry to El Tigre and spent a day at a private island along El Rio De la Plata and we also visited one of the world's greatest destinations; Iguazu Falls. I recommend traveling through ISA because in any predicament, there will be somebody to assist you whether its on-site or via email (ISA headquarters is based out of Texas). Learning the Spanish language in Buenos Aires is truly an experience as well, you will develop a Porteno/a accent and have many opportunities to immerse yourself into the culture, which makes practicing the language easy and fun!

I attended the University of Belgrano for an entire semester as well as the language intensive month beforehand. I highly recommend the Spanish intensive month if you are wanting to learn Spanish. You spend time in class a few hours a day Monday-Friday.
The 5 months I spent in Buenos Aires, I ended up getting 19 credits to transfer back to my home university in Michigan. I was stressed about classes not being transferred back properly, but Belgrano works one on one with you to make sure there are not any issues!

The hardest thing for me was the change of diet. The majority of food consisted of red meat, bread, and potatoes. Although if you go in the summer- the fruit is amazing!
