✈️ Before you fly to Argentina

The checks that separate a safe admission from a scam. Do them yourself — not through the agent.

Before paying anyone

  • College is in the World Directory of Medical Schools (every college page here shows its WDOMS ID).
  • Offer letter confirmed by email from the university's own domain.
  • Fee structure in writing; tuition paid only to the university's bank account, receipt on university letterhead.
  • Agent/consultancy name checked on Check before you pay.
  • Originals stay with you — copies only.

Documents & money

  • Passport valid 18+ months; visa; 6–8 passport photos; attested school-leaving certificates; your entrance-exam result if your home regulator requires one (NEET, MDCAT, etc.); medical certificate; police clearance if required.
  • Confirmation that this university is accepted by your own country's medical regulator — the list differs for India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, Malaysia and others.
  • Money on a forex card plus a little cash — never large cash handed to anyone "for the university".
  • Travel + health insurance that covers Argentina; a copy of every document in your email.

Landing safely

  • Know who is meeting you and confirm it with the university or a verified student — not only the agent.
  • See the hostel before paying a deposit; ask a current student whether it's the real one.
  • Register with your country's embassy or consulate after arrival (many run a student portal); save its emergency number — stranded students in the cases we've published got out through their embassy.
  • Local SIM, bank account, and the campus map in your first week — a senior can do this with you in an afternoon.

🛡️ Safety & expenses in Argentina

We don't publish a made-up "safety score" — official sources and real verification beat a number nobody can audit. Here's what to actually check.

🚨 Emergency numbers

911

Commonly used general emergency number. Save it in your phone on arrival, and confirm it with your university — some regions use a different local number.

Also save your home country's nearest embassy or consulate contact number before you fly, and register with them if your country offers it (e.g. India's MADAD portal, the UK's FCDO registration).

🧭 Before you go

  • Check your home government's official travel advisory for Argentina — search it here rather than trust a consultancy's summary of it.
  • Keep scanned copies of your passport, visa, and admission letter in cloud storage, separate from the originals.
  • Get travel/health insurance that explicitly covers the country and duration of your course.
  • Learn the area around your campus and hostel in daylight before relying on it at night.
  • Avoid unlicensed taxis or "guides" who approach you at the airport — arrange pickup through the university where possible.

💰 Verify these expenses yourself

We don't publish estimated costs here — they date quickly and vary by city and lifestyle. Before you commit money, get these in writing directly from the university, not only from an agent:

  • Full multi-year tuition, and whether it can increase year to year
  • Hostel/accommodation fees and what's included (food, utilities, wifi)
  • One-time costs: visa, admission/registration fees, health checks
  • Approximate flight cost for your route and how often you'd realistically travel home
  • Health insurance premium required for your visa or enrollment

📝 Longest student reviews from Argentina

Top 10 detailed reviews shared by students, along with the universities they belong to.

Universidad de San Pablo-T

Abraham Ojeda
You send WhatsApp messages to all the numbers listed on the page, and they either don't answer or send you somewhere else. You call, and they don't answer either, or they tell you it's not in that department. If this is how you sign up, I can't imagine what it's like to take the course. I'd rather not sign up there than be crazy.

Universidad de Ciencias Empresariales y Sociales Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud

Wilyx Walter
They sell the Programming degree to you as Silicon Valley with a phenomenal, up-to-date curriculum and hands-on labs. But when you actually get there, it's like a Chinese internet café with broken computers and professors nearing retirement teaching with 1993 C manuals... five classes explaining printf(). A terrible university.

Universidad Nacional de Cuyo Facultad de Ciencias Médicas

Mayra Romera
Hello! My lawyer requested an appointment for a DNA test and I would like to know if they are currently being given or if they will start giving them in February when the judicial holiday ends and classes begin. Why am I calling and no one is answering me? I would really appreciate your response. Thank you very much in advance.

Universidad Nacional de La Rioja Escuela de Medicina

ines gianni
UNLaR is a public, tuition-free university in the province of La Rioja, Argentina. Founded in 1972, it was declared a National University in 1993. Its campuses are located throughout the province, and its student body exceeds 40,000. Thanks to its excellent academic programs, its graduates are frequently recognized and awarded.

Universidad Maimónides Escuela de Medicina

agu cordoba
They don't answer through any channel, and if they do, it's rude. We had to take our final nursing degree exam via Zoom, and they left us waiting; the meeting never even started. We feel scammed; the organization is a disaster. I know people from previous graduating classes who had to wait over a year to receive their degrees.

Universidad Adventista del Plata Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud

Marcel Bentancur
I studied music teaching. I was very happy with the skills they provided. There were lots of great extracurricular activities. If you're looking for different experiences, this is the place to be. The people are very committed to your studies. You'll find the best friends, and if you look closely, maybe your future wife :).

Universidad Nacional Arturo Jauretche Instituto de Ciencias de la Salud

daniel sanchez pardo
Honestly, it's a university I wouldn't recommend. Many of the classrooms are storage rooms/garages, there's no security so anyone can come and go, there's a low wall that anyone can jump over, the bathrooms are very dirty, and the exchange program is a complete disaster. The advice from this university is terrible. Regards.

Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina Facultad de Ciencias Médicas

Majo Tejerina
The best university, I have to say, because it shapes you not only academically but also as a person. What I would like is for the University to take better care of its graduates, keeping them in mind by inviting them to courses, events, and postgraduate programs, and giving them something extra for having chosen them.
