IFSA - STUDY IN BUENOS AIRES: PSYCHOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE
Geotag  Buenos Aires, Argentina

WHY STUDY IN BUENOS AIRES?
Home to countless cultural and sporting attractions, Buenos Aires is one of the most cosmopolitan societies in the world with a distinctly European air. Known for its sophistication and culture, the city offers unparalleled opportunities to enjoy theatre, music, films, sports, and museums. Although Buenos Aires is expansive, the city’s reliable and inexpensive local transportation make getting around a breeze.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Explore psychology, neuroscience, and more in Argentina, where mental health is viewed without stigma—and there are more psychologists per capita than in any other country.  

Get settled in a homestay or modern apartment and take classes in English at our IFSA Program Center in Buenos Aires. There’s plenty of time to explore a city known for its dynamic cultural scene, passion for tango, and fondness for late nights. We’ll make sure you learn the essential language skills you need to savor empanadas and morcipán along the way. Options for internships and volunteering help you gain insights and experience to guide your career path as you connect with fellow porteños, port city dwellers. 

Your semester includes unforgettable excursions and day trips. Explore amazing destinations like Colon, San Antonio de Areco, and Uribelarrea, and experience Argentine life and culture beyond Buenos Aires, with no added cost!

Study Abroad Costs 

The following information has been compiled by the Buckman Center for International Education at Rhodes College. This is not an end- all, be-all of costs for off-campus study. Information is not limited to what is listed and all things are subject to change. Any organizations linked are simply there as a means of price comparison – the Buckman Center is not promoting or opposing any particular organization. While we have provided base resources, it is your responsibility to complete sufficient research and finalize your budget model for your program. Everyone has different spending habits; therefore, your personal costs can vary greatly and are subject to the individual. 

 

We appreciate your help in keeping these links live. We ask that you report any broken links to internationalprograms@rhodes.edu with the broken URL or the location of the broken link. 

 

Argentina  

General Costs 

_____________________________________________________________________________ 

Visa  

Be aware in the steps of acquiring a visa any hidden fees such as transportation, travel, time off of work, etc. 

Student Visa Fees and Costs around: $57.30 

Though most visas have online applications, there will be in person appointments at consulate offices 

_____________________________________________________________________________ 

Passport 

Passport book: $110 USD 

Passport card: $30 USD 

Passport Book and Card: $140 USD 

_____________________________________________________________________________ 

Academic Supplies 

Power adapter: South Africa uses a different adapter from the US 

If you plan on traveling to other locations, consider purchasing a universal power adaptor. 

_____________________________________________________________________________ 

International Phone Use 

You might run into issues with phone use in other countries, but this usually depends on your phone service provider. Many have international options/packages that will allow you to use your phone in a different country or you can also buy a separate phone made for international use. If you fully own your phone, it should not be difficult to acquire an international sim card once you arrive, and if not, you could use an old phone still in your possession. Work with your own phone service provider to find the best option for your situation. 

____________________________________________________________________________ 

Airfare (Greatly depends on location) 

If flying from Memphis to Buenos Aires, cost is between: ~$1200 - $2000 USD for a round trip 

If flying from Memphis to Mendoza, cost is between: ~$500 - $800 USD for a round trip 

These are generalizations, but a ballpark estimate assuming you are leaving from Memphis. We recommend purchasing refundable/changeable airfare, for unforeseen situations. We recommend you purchase the “Cancel for Any Reason” trip protection insurance mentioned on the Buckman Center’s website. Once you purchase your airfare, you have 14 days in which you can add your ticket to this insurance policy so as to be able to recoup some of its expense in the event you are unable to travel. 

_____________________________________________________________________________ 

Immunization - travel vaccinations are not normally covered by many private health insurance plans (although some plans will cover them) and are not covered at all by Medicare.  

Please review the CDC’s site for required and recommended vaccinations and medicines well in advance of travel. 

_____________________________________________________________________________ 

Additional Insurance 

Make sure you have medical and accident insurance while outside the US. Check with your program, as most programs offer this protection. If your program does not include medical and accident insurance, you must ensure that you purchase adequate coverage. The Buckman Center can help identify insurance carriers for students.  Alternatively, if you are included in your guardian’s/parent’s insurance plan, you should check with that insurance carrier to see if you remain covered while outside the US.  

_____________________________________________________________________________ 

Food/Room (if not included) 

Rooming: Dependent on choice of stay and program cost coverage  

Be aware that some programs require housing deposits that could cost several hundred dollars. This is the case for most ISEP programs. 

Private Flat: average ~$200 - $500 USD per month 

Student Dormitory: average ~$10 USD per month 

Be sure to do ample research on housing options with your program in my mind 

Food:  

Meal cost average ~$6.50 

Note that if you spend above average on food in the US, you will most likely do the same abroad 

_____________________________________________________________________________ 

International Bank Account and ATM fees 

Students will most likely continue to use their domestic banks unless they are staying for over a year (most students do not open a new bank account for a semester or year-long stay) However, if you are interested in opening a foreign bank account, do extensive research before making any decisions. Be aware of ATM fees that your personal bank may have in foreign countries. 

_____________________________________________________________________________ 

Public Transportation 

Bus tickets: ~$0.02 - 0.10 USD 

Taxi Fare: ~$1 - $25 USD (Depending on Distance of Travel)  

_____________________________________________________________________________ 
 

Personal Costs 

This is subjective but be aware that these are costs that will come up. Average entertainment costs include sports, cinema, excursions, shopping, souvenirs, etc. Be aware of any independent travel on weekends (transportation, hotel, meals, entrance fees to museums, etc.).
