Absolutely loved every second of this experience!
by: Natalia Alameda - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Argentina: Public Health in Urban Enviro.This is a intense academic program where you will learn a lot about the health system in Argentina if that is your goal.

Experiencia re linda!!
by: Sarah Winitzer - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Argentina: Public Health in Urban Enviro.This is an excellent program if you are passionate about public health topics and are looking to improve your Spanish. It is language intensive and can be intimidating at first, the academics are intense, especially if you are not confident with your Spanish skills, but the professors are patient and understanding and will accommodate your levels to help you learn and grow. We traveled almost every other weekend, and while it is a program that focuses on urban environments there are many opportu...
I learned a lot and loved it here!
by: Sophia Cattalani - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Argentina: Public Health in Urban Enviro.This is not a program to go on if you want to spend the whole time travelling. It is pretty academically rigorous, which I appreciated. There are a variety of excellent excursions to visit different public health institutions. Also an opportunity for either an internship or an extensive research project. I also felt living with a host family had a great impact on my language ability and cultural immersion. I loved them as well as the administrators from the country.
