Help me: Argentina or Spain ?

So I definitely know I want to study abroad, and I've had my heart set on going to Argentina, but then this weekend I starting thinking. I know, wow... thinking. Yeah, so maybe I should go to Spain. I really can't decide. There are good and bad aspects of both places. Both would totally rock, both I would learn to speak Spanish, both I would go with AIFS, both are home stays with a host family, both come with excursions or whatever in the price, and both sound great. In Spain the university is more well-renowned, more expensive, a better language program, and there's more places to visit. In Argentina it's in a big city (+), warmer even in the winter, cheaper cost of living, less common, and the program's a little longer. How on earth can I decide?

Which would you pick if you were me? Please help me... leave a response. I don't have to decide till this summer, but this is disturbing my peace. I need some advice, or at least a variety of opinions to help me out. Thank you. I know you want to tell me where you think I should study abroad. I'm begging you, please cure my indecision.

  1. I'd definitely pick spain over argentina. Like you said there'd be a lot more places to visit, and the university has a better program. I don't really think cost is that big of a deal, if you're going to study abroad, you might as well do it in style~

  2. You're right, I don't want money to be the issue, since this is once in a life time, but still, you would say Spain is more stylish? I think they both seem pretty cool. That's why I can't decide.

  3. Yeah, they both seem cool. But, spain has been around for longer, like history wise. And there's just so much you can visit there. A lot more just comes to my mind when you say spain, besides argentina(when i just think of their soccer team). You could never decide on things jenn =P.

  4. Jenn...definitely go for Spain. When I went on the Latin trip, it was awesome, especially Barcelona. I didn't like the food too much, but that's me. Much better than Argentina and less chances of being kidnapped and held for ransom. And the guys there are very flirtly...don't ask how i know this.
