The Truth about Argentina Universities
La Universidad del Salvador (USAL)
With some buildings concentrated in the swanky barrio Recoleta and few scattered elsewhere in the capital, USAL is a private institution that hosts about 20,000 students and offers a wider range of liberal arts courses than Di Tella. IFSA likes to throw around the 1:6 teacher-student ratio, a very nice statistic. However, I have found the advisers for international students to be pretty useless. Mine took three days to respond to an email containing my “shopping list” of courses she herself had requested. She then kindly reminded me that I must have a very strong command of the Spanish language to take literature courses at USAL (but literary analysis in a foreign language sounds so easy!), and that I should try taking a class on Argentine Ethnography instead. I might have overlooked the condescension if the course she suggested hadn’t been in one of the only departments closed to foreign students.
