Housing Options

Homestay

We have home stays located throughout the nicest neighborhoods of Buenos Aires (i.e. Palermo, Belgrano, Barrio Norte, Recoleta, Colegiales, etc.) which means that we will be able to place you close to your school, volunteer or internship placement.  Our families choose to house international students because they believe in the benefits of cultural exchange and enjoy opening their home and family to new people.  You will be provided with your own furnished room, breakfast and dinner daily, and a telephone for incoming calls. Homestays are best if your main goal is to learn as much Spanish as possible, you enjoy being at home with family, you don't have strict dietary restrictions, you are open minded to new living conditions and cultures.

Student Residence

The student residence is located in the neighborhood of Recoleta, only a few blocks from the subway, dozens of bus lines and the best dining and shopping in Buenos Aires.  The student residence includes shared room (single rooms are not available), personal closet with lock and key, private bathroom in each room, study room with free wireless internet access, shared kitchen, lounge with TV, telephones, laundry service, linens and towels, and cleaning service.
