Argentina is the most diverse country for travelling: Buenos Aires as the metropolitan city, salt lakes, huge waterfalls, desert, mountains, lakes, glaciars, Ushuaia as the most austral city in the world, wildlife: whales, penguins, sealions, horses etc. I can´t but tell anybody that they have to go there one day and I promise everybody will love it! Brazil, Chile, Peru and Bolivia are close, each country has its special note! Read Review

HOUSING

Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Cordoba is a college town and most of the students lived in apartments around the National University. Would have given me more of an opportunity to see how they lived and interacted, especially since i lived a bit far from both schools.
Personal comments:
I don't think they had any dorms. All students commuted from downtown Cordoba or surrounding towns.

Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish
How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I was good at understanding spanish before I studied in Argentina, but after one year it improved a lot. All the classes and exams were in spanish, but it did´nt cause many problems. I was very satisfied with my performance. And the local slang you get after the first couple of weeks!
