<p>not just for a semester, i kinda would like to go to university of buenos aires for the entire four years... which i know would be a big change. but i would love it and i plan on joining something like peace corps/doctors without borders/etc so honing my spanish skills while there would be a good thing. and it's tuition free! but would that be too crazy? i don't know if i am brave enough to just move to a foreign country all alone and it sounds a little scary and i don't know if the pros outweigh the cons. any advice from international students? what is it like to live in a foreign country?</p>
<p>Are the classes taught in English? If not, you need excellent Spanish skills already (Not “American fluent”, actually fluent and able to live your life completely in that language). Otherwise, it’s not crazy. No more crazy than all the thousands of foreign students who go to the US for all 4 years.</p>
<p>Well, depending on what universities you’d be considering in the US, you’d most likely be sacrificing quality by quite a bit. The most prestigious Argentine university, University of Buenos Aires, doesn’t even crack the top 200 in the world, so that’s something to think about. International students go to countries like the US, Canada, England, and France to study at universities of higher quality than those that are available in their home countries. But if you’re truly captivated by Argentine culture, and you’re fluent (as in FLUENT fluent) in Spanish, go for it.</p>

In fact, her family has taken advantage of similar opportunities.</p>
<p>If you haven’t been to Argentina, visit. I have family married to Argentines and it’s not very first world as people like to say. Things are inefficient in Argentina and the economy is unstable. You should also really know Spanish (their Spanish is hard to understand if you grew up learning Spanish in the US).</p>
