    Any UBA graduates out there?

    Untrue, there are Carreras de Grado and de Posgrado, Undergraduate and Graduate Careers. It is definately not divided in the same manner as in the US, but many professors graduate from with Argentine Posgrados.

    Can I work with a student visa?

    Richard is right, to become a foreign student at the UBA and get a visa that way, you will have to first request a voucher/coupon from the Argentine Consulate in your city.

    uruguay cheats to win

    I would disagree that Uruguay moved on only because of "sheer" luck. It was a well played game, and Uruguay won. The last stop that was "cheating" according to the name of this thread was what any player would have done in this situation.

    Don't thank me, thank our good friend Macri... If only he would stop worrying about becoming president (and his reputation) and focus on finding more creative solutions to the city's many problems. Do be careful with the map however, as the popup tells you when you enter it is still in Beta...
