Santiago

Chile

You are here

Home | Chile | Santiago

When you step off the plane to study abroad in Santiago, you’ll be mesmerized by the towering Andes Mountains—and at how the city of Santiago sits neatly below them, contentedly bringing together Chile’s colonial past and its new role as the country’s commercial center.

During your stay, see a fútbol game, taste asado Chileno, experience the innovative music scene, and take in the many sides of Chilean culture.

Our Santiago programs have something for everyone, from health studies to social justice, and even full-time internships!

A Final Thought

Post by Sammie Stagg

Some of the best things come out of us when we’re unceremoniously dumped somewhere and forced to rise to the challenge.

Reflections From Down Here on the Floor

Post by Sammie Stagg

A friend I made in Chile shared with me this quote he read once that stuck with him. We’d been discussing the social/political climate in Chile, which led us to talk about the misguidedness and, at times, impossibility of comparing suffering. And he said, “Suffering is like a gas--it fills the space it’s in.”

For the Love of Mountains & Other Things You Can't Explain

Post by Sammie Stagg

I come from a pretty flat state, so mountains are new to me. And my inclination whenever I encounter a new thing is to seek to understand what I’m looking at and how I feel, but mountains make that impossible.

Being in Chile as the Pandemic Hits

Post by Sammie Stagg

Due to everything rapidly changing with the Coronavirus, these posts will now be a little condensed into the next couple days. I know a lot of what we’re currently going through in Chile is very specific to this particular moment in history, but I think it’s worth it for future study abroad students to know the history of where they’re about to go.

Note 3. Paintings and Vegetables.

Post by Omar Uddin

With pedestrians bustling, passing cars swooshing, and towering high-rises glazed with summer sun, Buenos Aires is a breathing organism. The metropolis’s plentiful sites complement its culture. Art museums house a diverse array of European and Latin-American pieces, reflecting the culture’s rich intersection.
