“This is Angela, and I volunteered in pediatrics. I worked with kids, helped them with any other need or their parents. I had a great supervisor that answered all the questions that I had and while I was there, I also got to interview kids, parents, doctors, nurses about the health system here which was very interesting to compare it to the US system. They really helped me get a more worldly view of how health care is around other countries and since I’m applying to medical school, this was an awesome opportunity. My interview and writing the essay was easy having two systems to compare. In Buenos Aires there’s so much to do. There are bars and clubs but there are also like nice restaurants and touristy spots. I really recommend going to the Recoleta cemetery and the San Telmo on Sundays. If you have a chance go to Uruguay, really close and cheap so definitely go there! Try to go to the interior or Argentina so you can see the gaucho life, see a soccer game, a polo match. Try all the food and everything new, the pastries are amazing. Many people complimented my Spanish so I know I improved a lot. I had amazing roommates and my apartment was really nice. I lived close to other Mente participants. Some students were living in host families so it was great to invite people to my place. Advice for incoming new Mente participants, do something new every day, there’s so much to see!”Internship Program in Buenos Aires. Mente Argentina reviews by Angela
