Academic
Course recommendations
The economics course was taught by a professor who speaks good english and used to work for the World Bank, very insightful, I loved every minute of class with that teacher. But the course selection is very limited unfortunately, and there isn't any way to get two semesters out of what they had to offer.

none
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
The peso is 3 to 1 with the dollar. So everything was about a third of the price. But there was so much that it is easy to get carried away.

Personal comments
It becomes a real hassel when you have Wells Fargo and someone steals your identity because they will do nothing to help you until you get back. I strongly advise against using Wells Fargo if you plan on going abroad.

I really could not have asked for anything more. We were served supper everyday, we had access to the gym down the street, and we became friends with the employees. I really wish I was there right now.

Student life
Describe host city:
Travel, Nightlife, Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal social experience
Personal comments
I fell in love with this city. The night life was terrific, the youth was incredibly friendly, and I have never eaten so much steak in my life! If you visit and enjoy futbol, I highly suggest that you find a cinco futbol club. Cinco futbol is played on a field the size of a basketball court and it is 5 vs 5, so you are always in the action. I still dream of Argentina.
