Learn Arts and Culture 101 in Argentina
Argentinian culture is a direct reflection of its roots, which are primarily European. In other words, as a student in Argentina, you'll not only grow to appreciate the Latin American people and their history, but you'll also get a taste of Europe's music, literature, and architectural influences. It's literally the best of both worlds!

On the social scene, students will get to experience the rich traditions of the Argentinian people, from festivals and celebrations to theatre and music. Buenos Aires is a hotspot for cultural events, performing arts, and nightlife. Its famous Colon Theatre is world reknowned for its ballet and musical performances. Add to that some wonderful art galleries, and students of the arts can truly call the city of Buenos Aires their classroom.

In Argentina, education is highly valued, and the university system is reputable. There are 25 national universities as well as many private institutions to choose from. Because of the educational opportunities and the quality of living, thousands of international students choose to study and conduct research in Argentina each year.

Beyond the Classroom in Argentina
Living as a student in Argentina will expose you to delicious Latin cuisine. Argentineans are known for their barbecue technique in which food is cooked directly over the coals. Other popular foods include empanadas (fried meat patties), tamales (corn husks wrapped around meat or chicken), and other delicacies that borrow their flavors from a variety of culinary styles.

As a Spanish-speaking country, study in Argentina will immerse you in learning to speak one of the world's most popular languages. It's also considered a safe country with very little political unrest. That is an important factor to consider when you're leaving your home country and trying to navigate a whole new place. The friendly people also make the country seem very inviting. And, of course, its rich history, culture, and vast beauty all make Argentina a popular place to settle for an education.
