Your studies and extracurricular adventures will without a doubt allow you to embark on a real-life case study of Chile's thriving society.
Previously Buenos Aires Summer – Language & Argentine Studies, this program is now split in two:

With its influential history, beautiful European-style architecture, and rich cultural life (think theater, tango dancing, and delicious cuisine), Buenos Aires offers you a welcoming atmosphere for living and learning abroad.
