Buenos Aires, Argentina Project Center - HUA

Buenos Aires: South America::New York: North America:: Paris: Europe. It's a city. It's big, full of hustle and bustle, and it's beautiful. Argentina’s economic ups and downs illustrate its shared ancestry with neighboring Latin American countries, yet its capital’s French architecture and Italian influences reveal a storied and gloried past. Depending on who you talk to, the locals of Buenos Aires—known as porteños—are equally proud and frustrated that their city is known as the Paris of South America. Known for its unique neighborhoods, its urban feel, and its unique Spanish full of "sh" and and the voseo, Buenos Aires offers students an easily navigable environment in which to improve their Spanish and their cultural knowledge through daily classes at the Universidad de San Andrés. The city is also just hours from many spectacular sites, including Iguazú Falls, Montevideo & Colonia in Uruguay, as well as the vast countryside of Argentina, known as the Pampas. Students visit these locales and others (for instance, museums, film screenings, restaurants, and theaters) on planned weekend excursions.  This Project Center was established in 2011.
