  • Maya Sandalow Middlebury in Uruguay Montevideo, Uruguay
    Maya Sandalow Middlebury in Uruguay Montevideo, Uruguay Major: Spanish, Health and Human Rights Program: The Middlebury Program is a direct enrollment program, meaning students take classes at a local university with local students (as well as a half credit course with the program). The program has a strict language pledge and stresses the importance of community immersion. The program is very small, consisting of 5 to 15 students any given semester, one staff member in Montevideo, and one staff member in Buenos Aires that overseas all of the programs in South America. There is no on-site program base—Middlebury wants its students to get out in to the community. That being said, the on-site staff member is an amazing person who is available 24/7 for advice, coffee, and anything you may need. Middlebury offers various cultural events in Montevideo, ranging from a bike ride along the beach to a tour of the legislative palace. Additionally, Middlebury offers one big trip a semester (included in the program price). During my semester, we went to Cordoba, Argentina. Students have the option of directly enrolling in three different universities—two private and one public. I attended Universidad Catolica de Uruguay, and loved that there were never more than 20 people in my classes. My favorite class was Ecotourism. I learned about the beautiful array of wildlife, flora, and fauna in the country and went on an overnight fieldtrip to a nature preserve! Typical Day: Just like at CMC, my typical day varied depending upon my class schedule. On an energetic and optimistic morning, I would wake up around 8:30, eat a small breakfast and walk or bike the 2 miles to school.

TREATY1 BETWEEN THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC AND THE EASTERN REPUBLIC OF URUGUAY CONCERNING THE BOUNDARY CONSTITUTED BY THE RIVER URUGUAY. SIGNED AT MONTEVIDEO, ON 7 APRIL 1961 The Government of the Argentine Republic and the Government of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, motivated by the common desire to tighten the close and immutable bonds of affection and friendship which have always existed between their respective peoples, have decided to settle once and for all the question of the boundaries situated in the section of the River Uruguay which constitutes the frontier between the two countries. The two Governments, considering that, while they have identical rights over the said section of the river, there are other factors which should be taken into account when setting it as a boundary, for example, its general configuration, the characteristics of its navigable channels, the presence of islands in its bed, historical claims to those islands and instruments of present jurisdiction over them, and also the practical requirements of navi gation, have decided to adopt as the boundary a composite line which shall take into account the aforesaid considerations and at the same time satisfy as fully as possible the aspirations and interests of the two Contracting States.
