Why mendoza?
Mendoza is a unique destination for faculty and students
- Thousands of companies in winemaking, tourism, transportation, agriculture and finance that are eager to host students.
- Locals not jaded by mobs of foreigners descending upon them every summer for decades.
- An ideal climate for rafting, biking, and horseback riding (over 300 days of sunshine per year).
- An incredibly warm and welcoming culture.
- A diverse economy that is a logistical hub on the bi-oceanic corridor between Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
- Far from wars and terrorism (none in Argentina since 1994 and none in Mendoza since the 1970’s).
- A smaller, safer, and slower-paced city than Buenos Aires with much less traffic, rainy weather and air/noise pollution.
