Part of Latin America’s second-largest metropolitan area and at the heart of the ‘Latin American boom’ of the early 21st century, Argentina’s capital is now a dynamic place with growing international student and graduate opportunities. Reflecting this ongoing growth, Buenos Aires makes a huge leap in the QS Best Student Cities 2015, climbing from from 33rd in the world up to 24th, just behindBrisbane.
Argentina’s universities are renowned across Latin America for the quality of the graduates they produce, and this is reflected in Buenos Aires’ high score within the QS Best Student Cities index for “employer activity” (which measures the reputation that universities in Buenos Aires have amongst graduate recruiters). Nine universities in Buenos Aires are featured in the QS rankings, led by theUniversidad de Buenos Aires at 198th in the world.
For many students considering studying at one of the many universities in Buenos Aires, the lifestyle will be the big draw, with a world-renowned nightlife, culinary tradition, pleasant climate and one of the continent’s most vibrant arts and culture scenes making it a favored destination for travelers of all ages and interests.
The city still has its very poor areas, accounting in part for its moderate score in the “desirability” category, which measures the overall quality of living, though this does mean that for many international students general living costs in Buenos Aires will be lower than at home
