Course recommendations
UCA provides a first level education... I had 3 courses and they have been really interesting... besides interection with teachers are quite good... they are very kind and always available... even by phone and of course by e-mail. I saw only another University with so good organisation before: Università Cattolica of Milan (my University).

When I got Buenos Aires I had just a basic knowledge of Spanish... fortunally Italian and Spanish are not so different... and even more in Argentina an half of population can understand and even speak Italian... People is very kind and very patient... they try to understand you...
