Remember that the person meeting her should be the one who says her name or shows daughter the list containing her name. It doesn't hurt to be careful about safety.
I have never observed this in my 6-7 arrivals/year at EZE in the past 13 years ... the rep from the study abroad program will either have her name, or the program name, on a sign.

A 20 yr old adult should have no problems in passing through customs and immigration into Argentina if her papers are in order and she's not bringing anything prohibited into the country.
