Between Chile and Argentina, which country would you choose to study abroad?


Travel Info
I am planning on going abroad with "AFS" and I don't know whether i should go to the Argentina or Chile. My goal is to learn Spanish better and to be surrounded by culture and having fun! I also noticed that Argentina have 85% of the people descended from Europeans while in chile It is the the mestizos that are 85%.

Travel Tips
That's a very tough question because both countries are undoubtebly amazing. They are both pretty advanced and refined (specially for Latin American standards), they both have BEAUTIFUL landscapes, both populations are very educated, etc.

But straight to the point. I would choose Argentina because:
1) Everything is MUCH cheaper, you'd be surprised how cheap everything is (mostly because they suffered a huge devaluation a few years ago).

2) Argentina is probably a bit more liberal and more "fun" with more things to do (specially Buenos Aires).

So even though both countries are amazing, Argentina has an edge on those 2 and therefore I would choose Argentina.

Sudan.
Well, if you're looking for indigenous cultures, pick Chile. If you're looking for Euro ones, pick Argentina. To tell the truth, there are probably just as many Italians as there are Spanish people in Argentina.

Argentina also has yerba mate, if you like it. I don't believe it's a big thing in Chile. But both have dulce de leche, so they're both alright by me!
Both countries are beautiful. Check with

Have Fun!

Both countries are great. And you can have fun in both of them. But, in my opinion if you are focus in improving your Spanish speaking skill, I will go Chile.
