I wanted to go to a social place and I wasn't let down by Buenos Aires! Loads of fun places to go, with some really cool bars round Palermo and Recoleta, with an odd twist - sometimes, it really does seem like a home from home, as the culture is very European. I had some of the best food when I was out there - the steak really is amazing. Buenos Aires really livens up on the weekend, when hippy and design markets come into full swing, around Recoleta, Palermo and San Telmo. Although San Telmo is very pretty, it can be a little dangerous at night - I lived in a posher neighbourhood (Recoleta), which seemed a little family-orientated at times, so I had to travel for a bit to find student hangouts. It's a great city with loads to do, and the best thing about going to BA is you can get cheap flights/buses to go travelling round South America; whilst I was there I got the chance to go to Mendoza, Iguazu, Santiago and Lima. It can be a little isolating working so make sure you join up to different societies, events etc.
