Meet Megan, a Senior college student from the University of Houston! Megan took over the AIFS Abroad Instagram story to answer questions about what it’s like to study abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina and highlight what a typical day in her life looks like there this summer.
AIFS provides excellent accommodations, activities, resources and staff to help students learn about and integrate into their host community.
The homestay experience can be the most rewarding aspect of your time abroad. Living with a carefully selected host family is the best way to learn Spanish and gain a unique insight into the local community and culture.
Apartments are a great choice for students who prefer to live more independently.

Hola! My name is Bárbara Franconi and I am so pleased to be the AIFS Program Director of the program at the University of Belgrano in my beloved Buenos Aires in Argentina. I oversee the AIFS Buenos Aires program and my team and I have been working with international students from all over the world for many years now.
The Program Director provides academic advice, introduces you to the community and handles communication with the University.
In addition to day trips and excursions, a cultural calendar of weekly activities and social events is included in your program fee. These activities will include both typical tourist sites and attractions and lesser known visits which take advantage of the expert knowledge of our local AIFS staff and give you a more authentic and insightful view of life in Argentina. Typical activities, tours and visits include:
You may be asked to pay a small supplementary fee for some events.
AIFS students can also participate in a variety of extracurricular activities offered by the University of Belgrano and join clubs and societies which bring further opportunity for friendship and cultural exchange with Argentine students. Sports clubs at Belgrano include basketball, volleyball, running and soccer.
Give back to the community and add a new perspective to your study abroad experience by undertaking volunteer work in Buenos Aires. You could be helping disadvantaged children in an orphanage or participating in an ecology or social project.

Social identity & access
One of the best things you can do before departure is enter into the journey knowing that your time abroad will be unique to this experience. The resources, community, and support available to you when abroad will likely be different as well. In order to help you prepare for your experience, we have compiled many resources about social identity and access in specific locations abroad. Your program staff will also provide you with more details pre-departure and during orientation.
