Description:
Buenos Aires (pop. 13 million) is well-known for its cultural diversity and dynamic atmosphere, making it one of South America's most elegant and vibrant cities. The city's history revolves around the Western European immigrants whose descendants have preserved their influences since the 19th century by way of architecture, art and style. Buenos Aires has also adopted some more modern architectural styles, which provide a notable contrast to the city's deep-rooted traditions and history.
Students in Buenos Aires will benefit from the support of the ISA on-site office. Resident staff members will assist students with travel information, volunteer and internship opportunities and tutoring. Alumni from ISA's Buenos Aires program have found that their time abroad exceeded their expectations, and they frequently highlight the ISA Buenos Aires staff, the accommodating housing options, and the endless cultural activities as unforgettable aspects of their experiences.
