Buenos Aires

Term: Fall, Spring 

Description: ASA takes care of everything for you so that all you have to worry about is improving your Spanish, doing well in your classes, and having a good time! With housing, meals, health insurance, excursions, laundry, tutoring, tuition, academic credits and much more included in the cost of the program, we strive to make your experience in Buenos Aires the best time of your life. Located in the quiet residential area of Belgrano, the university was established in 1964 and now enrolls over 13,500 students, including 2,000 international students. The university is divided into 13 different schools that offer 33 different undergraduate and 20 graduate majors.

ASA students at the Universidad de Belgrano have multiple course options to supplement their Spanish studies, from simply taking electives taught in English or Spanish, to combining electives in both languages.

ASA encourages all students to participate in the one-month intensive Spanish language program that is offered before the regular semester courses begin. This intensive program accomplishes two very important goals that will help any student maximize his or her time in Buenos Aires. It will not only earn students 6 semester credits, but it will also help prepare you for life in a Spanish-speaking city, making for a smoother transition into Argentine culture and improved Spanish communication skills.

Highlights: Located on the southern tip of the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires is the cultural and economic center of Argentina. With around 3 million people living in the city and over 12 million in the greater metropolitan area, its influence over the country cannot be underestimated.

The residents of Buenos Aires, known as porteños (people of the port), come from a large number of cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. While most porteños are of Spanish or Italian descent and are Roman Catholic, other European countries such as Portugal, Germany and France have imparted waves of immigration.

Porteños are certainly not limited to European ancestry or Roman Catholicism, as Syrian, Lebanese, Armenian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean communities also play an important role in the city, as do the Jewish and Muslim communities. With a Jewish community of over 250,000 in Buenos Aires, it is the largest in South America.

The city of Buenos Aires is divided into distinct areas, such as Belgrano, San Telmo, Recoleta, Palermo, Barrio Norte, and many others. While there are no clear borders between each district, the vibe of each area is very different. In the Las Cañitas district, for example, you will find wealthy socialites gathering at night, while in Palermo Hollywood and Palermo SoHo there are ethnic restaurants and funky boutiques. In Belgrano, you have quiet residential areas alongside busy commercial avenues, while in Recoleta you will find its famous and hauntingly beautiful cemetery, right in the center of the district.
