When I look back on how I was when I first arrived in Buenos Aires to how I was when I left, I realize that I changed not only because I drastically improved my Spanish, but also because I gained confidence in my ability to navigate difficult situations on my own.

Get involved in clubs. It really helps you make friends with local students. I joined TECHO, a volunteer organization that works to build houses over a weekend for families that do not even have a roof over their heads. We packed up a weekend back and slept on the floor of a church as we built a house across the days we were there. It was an incredible experience and one that helped me make some lasting friendships with local students from San Andrés.

I learned that being adaptable and having patience is crucial to thriving on a study abroad program. My first week in the city was extremely difficult, but eventually learned how to navigate life in Argentina.
