Hello everyone,
I’m currently in Buenos Aires, Argentina and as everyone else I’m having the time of my life here. The city is massive but has such a charm. There are so many things to see, experience and discover. I quickly felt at home and it’s easy to get your way around. Also, travelling to nearby countries such as Uruguay, Paraguay or Chile is doable. For me, as an international communication student, it is the perfect opportunity to experience other cultures and to completely dive into what I am given here. There are many cultural differences, but so far I haven’t found one with which I edge. Being surrounded by a Spanish-speaking environment helps a lot in developing your language skills but also means that you constantly have to prove yourself. The university is well-organized, located in a perfect neighbourhood and the classes are similar to Hanze-style – consisting of a mix of theory and practice. Generally, there are easier and more difficult classes and depending on your desire of workload, there is a great assortment to choose from.
If you’re looking for a challenge in an amazing capital city which has so much to offer and want to improve your Spanish as well as get to know a Latino culture, Buenos Aires is the place to be. With its European flair and Latino passion, it’s the perfect spot to gain experiences and grow and outgrow yourselves!! If you have any questions, feel free to contact and ask me!!
