where to study abroad

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi my name is Antonio. I am a sophomore student at Middlebury College still hesitanting about where to study abroad. I am French but have lived in New york my entire life and speak fluent spanish. I am also learning Portuguese. I am a history major. I have narrowed my choices down to 4 places.( no preference in any):</p>

<p>1- Niteroi, Brazil: It's just outside of Rio (Universidade Federal Fluminense) and offers good courses in History and Poli. Sci. Since I have just begun taking Portuguese it would be a language experience. Never been there.</p>

<p>2- Madrid, Spain: This would be an experience purely for the culture and the school. Have never been there.</p>

<p>3- Buenos Aires, Argentina: (Universidad de Buenos Aires). Also would be for the culture and have never been there.</p>

<p>4- Paris, France: The school would be Science Politiques if I were to be accepted. It's a very prestigious school and I would mainly for that. I have been to Paris many times but have never lived there or spent more than two weeks. </p>

<p>Please give your opinions on which one I should chose. Should I go to one place for the year, 6 months one place and 6 months another, or just 6 months abroad. Thank you for your comments</p>

<p>from wiki:</p>

<p>(Argentina):</p>

<p>There are 35 public universities across the contry, as well as several private. The Universities of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, La Plata, UTN (Technology University) , and Cuyo (Mendoza), are among the most important. Terciary (university) attendance is very high for global standards. Public universities faced cutbacks in spending during the 1980s and 1990s, which led to a decline in overall quality.</p>
