I'm not a big partier but i don't want to spend my nights sitting at home on study abroad in Buenos Aires.?
What can I do for fun in the evenings that isn't dangerous or requires a lot of money? Also, I am an active person, I love to do quiet things, I am a lot of 'bookish' interests, I guess you could say. I also love making friends but I'm more of an introvert and boliches tire me. I like to drink but I hardly ever enjoy getting trashed.

I'm not gonna lie, you're going to have a hard time in Buenos Aires if you don't party. Its a huge part of their culture to go out to bars and party so you'll definitely be missing out. However, I'm the same as you, an introvert and non-party person, so I often found myself alone exploring the city. To be honest, I never met another person in Latin America who was an introverted as me, but I'm sure you can find someone. BA is a HUGE city though so just keep your eyes and ears open and look up events on the internet to see what goes down in the evenings. And, use couchsurfing.com to meet other expats (foreigners) in the area that you can hang out with. Suerte!

Argentine Tango is a major thing down in Buenos Aires. Some places offer free or low-cost lessons - maybe even available at your university. Since you're active, and this is truly something special about BA, why not give it a try? Not only would you learn something new, you'd also be getting involved in the social life down there - all without ever having to take a drink, unless you want to. Since you're active, this might be a good fit for you. And it's cultural, and it's something that must be learned, so it may appeal to your "bookish" side as well. It'll allow you to make friends via a common activity - I really think you should give it a try.
