Overall, I had an amazing experience in Buenos Aires, and especially with Road2Argentina. I worked at an NGO devoted to helping small and medium sized businesses in Buenos Aires start or expand their involvement abroad. Road2Argentina worked closely with us to ensure that we were happy with our internships, and is very flexible with changing to a volunteer or study program if you are not satisfied.
The staff was not only highly professional, but also went above and beyond to make sure that we were well-oriented the very first day, kept tabs on us, provided plenty of opportunities to do activities and meet other Roadies, and helped with any troubleshooting that was needed. I was especially grateful for their help when I stayed in Buenos Aires independently AFTER my program ended.
The student residence is really nice, kind of like a huge townhouse that has been remade, and is in a really nice part of the city. I've heard that the shared apartments are also really fun because you get to live with locals that are your age.
The staff was also extremely warm, and I made friends really quickly with them - I still keep in touch with them now, over a year later. The staff are all really young and fun - if you do end up going, try to hang out with them as much as possible!
I highly, highly recommend Road2Argentina for a trip, just because they were super accommodating of me. They will seriously cater to all your needs and wants, and just know that if you go to Argentina with Road2Argentina, you will be well taken care of.
