Hi Stephen welcome to
Mancia!
I will try to write as beter as i can.
Well as one someone told you UBA is the most famous university in Latinamerica, is the only one that achieved the Nobel Price, 3 of them were from medicine. It's also true that only a few get the degree, why? I can't really explain. I guess it's because here things are very hard, the goverment doens't suppont it financially and things are kind of difficult because of it.
Other important thing is that here a lot of foreign students study here, mostly because it's free.
I'm about to pass to 2nd year an d I've seen lot of my classmates quit during my 1st year. Class are very hard, for example in anatomy class we have exams at the of everyclass.
I think it would be great if you choose this university, I don't say this because I study here, I say it because you'll have the chance to see people who really want to make de difference studing medicine and go through a lot to difficulties to achive that.
I must warn you things here aren'teasy at all but I think that's what make UBA so special.
I wish you had understood something I wrote. I'm not very good at writing.
I'd love to keep in touch with you, It wolud be great to change ideas with someone that is so far from here.
Luz
