Sean's Intensive Spanish Experience in Buenos Aires

I am a junior at the University of Alabama, and I have been studying here in Buenos Aires through Mente Argentina for about six months now, since July. I was doing the university semester program, with coursework in Latin American studies and Spanish. What I really loved about Mente is the freedom it has given me to learn about the city, the culture of Argentina, and the people here in Buenos Aires. I really enjoyed the apartment placement I got. Mente gave me a nice apartment here in the city. I have had really good luck with roommates through the program, and I have really enjoyed that. What I enjoyed most was how I was able to take what Mente offered and turn it into a real learning experience here in Buenos Aires, expand on the coursework I was doing at the university, and make that into something I can take beyond the classroom.
