Student Accommodations in Buenos
Aires
We recognizes the homestay
is one of the most important elements in any experience abroad and strives to
maintain a well-established network of comfortable apartments and family homes
in our city’s best neighborhoods. A member of our staff personally visits each
student accommodation in Buenos Aires to ensure the highest quality of student
housing.
All student accommodations in Buenos Aires include a private room for each
individual. Homestays are with a local Argentine family and our shared
apartments will have at least one native Spanish-speaker living there. Our goal
for all students living with a local host family or local young people is that
they will use their hosts as resources about life in Buenos Aires and the
Spanish language, as well as become involved in their hosts’ social networks.
Each type of student accommodation in Buenos Aires is additionally screened for
cleanliness, amenities, distance from our students’ schools, and any special
student requests, such as dietary needs, allergies, pets, smoking, etc. We do
our best to meet the needs of each of our students within the framework of local
cultural commodities and norms.
Details of
Student Housing in Buenos Aires
Family Homestay (With or Without Meals)
The family homestay option is the best fit for students looking for a great deal
of interaction with local Argentines and who are interested in joining in the
host family’s daily life and customs. These families are well acquainted with
the city of Buenos Aires, the porteño (Buenos Aires) culture, and greatly
expedite the student’s immersion process. Families consist or everything from a
señora, to a married couple with small children, to a parent with their college
age children. Students have the choice of sharing in family meals or cooking
their own, and can take advantage of the opportunity to practice Spanish on a
daily basis.
Shared Student Apartment
The shared apartment option is the best fit for independent students seeking to
live with other young native Spanish speakers living in Buenos Aires. These
individuals are well acquainted with the city of Buenos Aires and provide an
excellent resource for expediting the student’s immersion process. Apartment
mates are students or young professionals living, working, and/or studying in
Buenos Aires, generally between the ages of 20-32, and students may have
anywhere from one roommate to eight other young people (relative to the size of
accommodation) living in Buenos Aires. Students in shared apartments cook their
own meals and experience a great deal of independence, yet are still able to
take advantage of the knowledge of their apartment-mates also living in Buenos
Aires as well as practicing their Spanish.
Private Apartment
Private apartments provide a great deal of privacy and independence during
downtime from classes. Apartments can be located in the neighbourhood of your
choice, in each destination, with the amenities / number of rooms that you
request (subject to availability). This option provides a way to explore and
discover Buenos Aires at an individual pace or with your travel companions.
Hostel
Like the private apartment, the hostel option affords students a great deal of
privacy and independence during down time from classes, allowing students the
opportunity to explore the city at their own pace. While hostel staff often
speak English, do not forget that they are an important resources to practice
your Spanish! Our hostel option for students in Buenos Aires is located in the
city center, directly across the street from the our language school in Buenos
Aires, and close to restaurants and the cultural centers of the city. |
