Study Abroad? Look No Further than Argentina

With the global financial crisis creating reverberations across Europe and America, why not consider studying abroad in Argentina, where you will receive an excellent and affordable education.

Studies in Argentina, in comparison to Europe and North America, and other popular study abroad destinations such as Australia and Japan, are incredibly affordable. Further, a comparison of the top universities in Argentina shows that they compare favorably to outstanding institutions in the States and Europe.

Argentines are known to be very academic and place a strong emphasis on education. In Argentina free education is available for locals, much government funding goes towards education, and the standard of education is very high. Argentina has produced many well-known academics in numerous fields from science to literature.

On top of this, you get a great and affordable lifestyle. The lifestyle in Argentina is strongly European, influenced by its multicultural migrant population, and yet at the same time it has an exciting and unique South American flair characterized by tango, mate and gauchos.

Food is still comparatively inexpensive in Argentina, and public transport is cheap and widely available. Petrol is subsidized in Argentina, which means that petrol prices do not go up!

The credit crunch means that it will be harder for students in America and Europe to secure study loans, and financial aid offers are likely to be less generous. In this scenario, studying abroad in more affordable locales becomes a viable option - and Argentina is arguably one of the most appealing and affordable study abroad destinations.

In Argentina you will find many excellent universities to choose from, as well as the option of studying in the city of your choice - with each city having its own unique flair. Argentina is known for embracing its dynamic multicultural and multiethnic community making it an ideal place for students looking to study abroad.

Your study abroad in Argentina is likely to be very exciting and stimulating. Argentina has a swinging nightlife and vibrant arts and culture scene. Students sometimes take night classes, and head straight from class to socialise and share pizza and cerveza (beer) with friends, before heading off to one of the many bars or nightclubs.

The landscape in Argentina is vast and varied and offers majestic natural beauty such as lakes, snow-capped mountains, beaches, glaciers, jungles,  rainforests and awesome rock formations. There is loads to see and do - from sightseeing, to shopping, to clubbing, to adventure sports.

So if you are thinking of studying abroad, and are looking for a high quality and affordable education, as well as an awesome lifestyle, look no further than Argentina!
