Best Places to Study Abroad for Those Who Want to Travel...A Lot!

Buenos Aires
Freiburg
Galápagos Islands
Sydney

Buenos Aires, Argentina

While we’re all for getting out of town, this Latin American capital city has so many districts and neighborhoods, you’ll find yourself traveling within the city itself quite a bit.

Thinking bigger and further away? The Patagonia is a must to have on your list (students who take The Making of Patagonia course enjoy a multi-day course-related excursion there!). Not to forget the many Latin American countries and major cities (think Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, and Santiago), which are just a trip away. In fact, our Multi-Location Emerging Economies Program lets you take advantage of all that Buenos Aires and Santiago have to offer as you split your semester across the two cities.

Get ready to embrace your traveler lifestyle when you study abroad in Buenos Aires.

“What would I say if you asked me what it was like to study abroad in Germany? I’d give you the answer that I give everyone. I’d say it was amazing, life-changing, one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”

Galápagos Islands, Ecuador

Imagine starting your study abroad adventure in Quito, moving to the Galápagos Islands, island hopping on a boat cruise, and seeing nearby areas through field trips—think: the Amazon rainforest, Ecuador's coast, Maquipucuna Reserve, and Papallacta's Hot Springs. If study abroad in Ecuador doesn't wake your inner traveler, we're not sure what will.

Study Abroad in Sydney

“Just say yes. It won't always be perfect, but it will always be worth it. You will never regret saying yes to Sydney.”
