Contrary to its etymology (from a hill called Buen Ayre), Buenos Aires is among the world's most populous cities. Located at the Southeastern coast of the continent of South America, Buenos Aires is Argentina’s capital and largest city, and the second largest in South America. Inhabitants of Buenos Aires are often referred to as porteños, meaning “people of the port.” The city remains one of South America’s top tourist destinations as it is famous for rich culture and European-inspired architecture. Loughborough University’s The World According to GaWC 2008 report considers Buenos Aires an Alpha World City.
Buenos Aires is also commonly dubbed as “the Paris of South America” due to strong European influence. Education system in Buenos Aires is as diverse as its culture. For instance, there are several public and private universities in the city. One of the leading institutions is the University of Buenos Aires which bred five Nobel Prize recipients. Other notable academic institutions include the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology, CEMA University, Favaloro University, University of Belgrano, Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina, University of Palermo, University of Salvador, and the Torcuato di Tella University.
