IES Santiago

I had a superb time in Santiago, Chile. I though academics might be sub-par, but when I got there I discovered I was very satisfied with the quality of my classes. I took classes at IES and at the local catholic university, which is the highest ranked university in the country and offers courses in most US majors. Living in Santiago was awesome, as it is a big city with lots to do. There is also ample opportunity to travel within Chile and South America. It really is a cultural and Spanish immersion. Be prepared for Chileans to speak quickly and with a lot of their own expressions and slang (they are wonderful people though!).
