We encourage students to take part in any of the multiple cultural activities that a cosmopolitan city like Buenos Aires has to offer. Taking into account the particular interests of each student, we can help you “live” Buenos Aires outside the classroom.
We think that going to a soccer match, learn how to tango, enjoy an art festival o do some sightseeing are key experiences that are a part of the academic experience Swarthmore aims at. Even though the program does not organize these activities directly, we are prepared to offer assistance and orientation for those who require it.
