"Students participating in the New Paltz - Middlesex program have the advantage of experiencing first-hand and at relatively low cost the educational system of a British university. New Paltz has established a comprehensive, well-thought-through oreintation process to inform students about the details of the program. Both institutions seem wholly committed to making the program work."

 

Study Abroad Programs

Fall/Spring/Academic Year: Argentina

Location

Buenos Aires, on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, is a culturally rich port city. Said to be the most European city in South America, its residents are descendents of Italian, German, Spanish and other European heritages.  It is made up of small neighborhoods, each expressing it's individuality through use of color and architectural form.  This makes it a great city to explore as you will discover your own favorite areas, making your study abroad experience truly unique.

The Tango, the national dance, reflects the passion and individualism of the Argentine spirit.  It is practiced in dance halls and ball rooms, parks and outdoor plazas,
