Rockefeller Center Program in Chile Closes

“There must have been something about Chile that I really liked,” he said.

But this semester, no Harvard students have chosen the same path.

The David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS), which since 2002 has placed dozens of Harvard undergraduates in Chile for its study abroad program, has decided to put the program on hold this semester due to a lack of applicants.

But undergraduates might apply to Argentina over Chile because Buenos Aires is a “more European city” than Santiago, said Kim.

“It’s known for its beef and leather and tango,” she said of Buenos Aires. “It’s just much more of a tourist destination than Santiago.”
