Since a lot of programs end this coming week, some of my friends are heading out and it’s making me super aware that I need to be a good picture taker. That said, here are some pictures of the school of Filosofia y Letras (Philosophy and Letters) of the UBA (University of Buenos Aires), where I take my Argentina history class.

These red chairs are in the Che Guevera classroom, one of the largest classrooms at the school. The school is super old and on each floor there is a nice open area– some floors have little book stands or places to guy school supplies, there is a kiosk for snacks and a guy that sells the best pan relleno I’ve ever had on the first floor. There is a nice open area in the middle of the school where kids hang out, smoke, and chat between classes.

One of the issues at the school is the fact that it’s very old and there is not a lot of funding for improvements. The least of which has to do with the chairs, which are in pretty bad condition.

“Esto no es una silla” = “This is not a chair”

The demonstration also featured a large sign that said “No chair was hurt in the making of this piece.”

Here’s the stairwell from across the open air patio.

All of the bathroom stalls are pretty bad at the school, and feature plenty of graffiti.

Well, that does it for the UBA tour. On to another post about some coffee shops around the city
