Choosing a study abroad organization is a big decision. Programs, accommodation and prices matter, but so does something less tangible: knowing that the organization you choose has a long history of supporting international students successfully.
At Mente Argentina, we have welcomed students from around the world to Buenos Aires for Spanish courses, university programs, internships, volunteer experiences, graduate programs and cultural immersion programs.
Over the years, thousands of participants have shared their experiences through reviews, testimonials and personal stories. Those experiences continue to be one of the most important measures of the quality of what we do.
Recognized by Students and the Study Abroad Community
Mente Argentina received recognition from GoAbroad and Go Overseas, two of the international education industry’s best-known study abroad platforms.
Based on participant reviews and ratings, Mente Argentina was recognized in multiple categories among thousands of international programs listed on the platform at the time.
These recognitions included:
Notable Mention — Top Rated Study Abroad Organizations
2nd Place — Top Rated Internship Organization
2nd Place — Top Rated International Internship Program
We are proud of those awards not simply because of the rankings themselves, but because they were based heavily on the experiences and feedback of the students who participated in our programs.
What Matters More Than an Award?
An award from a particular year is something to celebrate, but for us the more important story is everything that happened afterward.
Since then, Mente Argentina has continued welcoming students from different countries, universities, professional backgrounds and age groups, each arriving in Buenos Aires with different goals.
Some come to become fluent in Spanish. Others want international work experience, university credit, graduate study, cultural immersion or simply the opportunity to spend meaningful time living in another country.
What connects those experiences is the support students receive before arrival, during their program and throughout their time in Buenos Aires.
Hear Directly From Mente Argentina Students
We believe the best way to understand what a program is really like is to hear from the people who actually participated in it.
Over the years, we have collected hundreds of video testimonials and participant stories from students who studied Spanish, completed internships, volunteered, attended university, learned tango, studied photography, explored Argentine food and wine and experienced everyday life in Buenos Aires.
These testimonials come from real participants from around the world and cover many different types of programs and experiences.

They are not scripted advertisements. They are students describing, in their own words, what they studied, where they lived, what surprised them about Argentina and what they took away from their experience.
Independent Reviews Matter Too
We also encourage prospective students to look beyond our own website.
Mente Argentina participants have shared feedback over the years on independent study abroad platforms, review websites and other public channels. Looking at experiences across multiple sources is one of the best ways to understand whether a program and organization are the right fit for you.
Independent reviews are particularly valuable because they allow future participants to compare experiences, ask questions and hear different perspectives before making a decision.
Why Students Choose Mente Argentina
Every participant is different, but several themes appear consistently in student feedback.
Personalized programs:
students can combine different academic, professional and cultural experiences depending on their goals and the amount of time they have in Argentina.
Support in Buenos Aires:
our team is based locally and is available to help students navigate practical questions, cultural adjustment and unexpected situations during their stay.
A complete experience:
Mente Argentina programs go beyond the classroom. Students become part of a community and participate in activities designed to help them experience Buenos Aires rather than simply visit it.
Different accommodation options:
students can choose among accommodation styles depending on the type of experience and level of independence they prefer.
Flexibility:
many programs allow students to choose different durations, start dates and combinations of study, work and cultural experiences.
Immersion:
the objective is not only to study a subject or complete a program, but to live in Buenos Aires and engage with Argentine language, culture and everyday life.
More Than One Type of Study Abroad Experience
Mente Argentina offers a wide range of programs, which means students can build very different experiences depending on what they want to accomplish in Buenos Aires.
You can explore:
Mente Argentina was created around a simple idea: international students should be able to experience Argentina in a way that is academically valuable, culturally immersive and personally meaningful.
That requires more than simply enrolling someone in a course.
It means helping students prepare before arrival, connecting them with the right program and accommodation, welcoming them to Buenos Aires, helping them understand the city and being available throughout their stay.
Programs and technology continue to evolve, but that personal approach remains central to the way Mente Argentina works.
