Poll: Studying Abroad in College

[kozman31]

My friend and I are going to be freshman in college this coming fall at the University of Delaware and considering doing study abroad over winter session. I'm thinking about going to Siena Italy, and my friend (whom this poll/post is for) isn't really sure where he wants to go. He's narrowed it down to four choices:

Argentina
Brazil
Costa Rica
Peru

He's a philosophy major and he's taking spanish as his language, any opinions on the locations or where he should go are appreciated.

If he's taking Spanish, Brazil is kinda out...
Costa Rica is Little America

Instead of Peru you should put Ecuador, it's better

What's your major? I was thinking about Sydney but decided against it, maybe next year or something.

You have to give us some more info on your friend to be able to give you a better answer.

Spain.

I personally wouldn't suggest Costa Rica, because it's to much like the US, a lot of people speak English, your friend wouldn't get as good of an experience because of that. If he goes to a more different place he will learn more things because he/she is leaving his/her comfort zone.

As freshmen in your second trimester? Is that common?

At most schools you wait until spring sophomore/fall junior.

I'm not sure how common it is but it can't hurt and it seems fun. Anyone else know anything about these places or ever been there?

Doesn't Brazil have a favorable ratio of men to women? Plus there are many hotties there.
