Why Buenos Aires?


Buenos Aires is a city with a hugh cultural heritage and its own characteristics. It is amusing and serious, folk an urban, humble and sophisticated, crowdie and intimate, American and European.


Studying in Buenos Aires is a great opportunity. I has not only a varied and prestigious educational offering, museums, theatres, cinemas and cultural centers but also spontaneous political, cultural and social activities in the street.

Besides, Buenos Aires has cafes and restaurants opened until late in the night; people who is mad about soccer;  a representing music: tango, a multicultural architecture with French and Arabian palaces, and precarious and colourful metal sheet houses; colonial and new buildings; and the view of a large city with parks and wooded streets.

Being on the River Plate side, Buenos Aires is an interesting gate leading to Argentina and Latin America.


Why Congreso?


Congreso is a popular neighborhood crossed by the famous Av. De Mayo, the Buenos Aires "Gran Via", which runs from the Parliament building, as big as the power that it represents, to Plaza de Mayo and the Pink House.

The hole area shapes an eye-catching set of important buildings with domes and well preserved facades, typical restaurants, hostel and hotels with last XIX and early XX century architecture and the oldest Metro line (A) under the avenue. Being in Congreso, you can easily experience the true Buenos Aires spirit and move everywhere.

BASI is in Congreso, on the musician's street, which has instruments in its show windows and music flowing out of the shops. The school has a view to the street side façade of an art deco building. It is two blocks from Av. De Mayo and 9 de Julio, close to the metro station.
