Nobody will stand you at college if you try going to UBA ( University of Buenos Aires). Because is free for argentinians. We don´t like foreign people at our free colleges. Because that money the state puts in your education will never go back to the people because u will return to the states with a high level university education that was for free. When at the states u have to pay a large sum of money to study medicine ! Seriously think about this. Choose a private university. Buenos Aires is a dangerous city and I have no doubt only in a private university u will feel comfortable and out of danger. I suggest you UB ( universidad de Belgrano- Belgrano University), UP ( universidad de Palermo - Palermo University) or Maimonides University to study medicine in this order. You can rent an apartment close to the university previously paying six months before taking it. And as you are from abroad, price u will pay is the price for foreign people. ( Argentinians and foreign people have different rates, of course yours will be much higher !) If u find it unfair or you expected a free college education, you always can keep at the states.

Well, i will be short. The best university to study medicine is UBA. which is public you dont have to pay anything. then you can also go to UNIVERSIDAD BARCELÓ, UNIVERSIDAD MAIMONIDES, UNIVERSIDAD FAVALORO, UCES, UAI, AUSTRAL. but the best ones are UBA, BARCELO AND FAVALORO. =)

Public Universities are free for anybody. Private ones, off course not. Belgrano is private, but not expensive compared to USA prices. But I recommend the UBA, which is public, free, and produced a Nobel Award of Medicine (Houssay). You will not be rejected, looked down, or being misstreated. You are welcome, because as as student, you are like an all-year tourist. But you will need a Student visa, (or become an Argentine citizen). Rate crimes on Buenos Aires are on the same level than in New York. In particular, if you behave like a tourist, dressing like a foreigner, and showing your Rolex, and iPhone, you will become a robber magnet. To enter to the UBA, you will need to do the same exams that any native, and also a Spanish course (or just Spanish exam if you are already fluent). Argentines are friendly and welcoming to foreigners. The problem is that on Argentina, real state guarantees are asked to rent a house, and foreigners generally don't own real state on Argentina so you will need to pay a bank to provide one, or share a rent with another Argentine student who owns real state on other city, or pay an unfair high rent.
