Housing

The objective of the Housing service is to provide the participants with different types of accommodation so that their stay in Buenos Aires is indeed a real experience of cultural exchange.

The program has a pool of host families who are interested in receiving international students in their homes.

Living with a host family is a plus for students because it is an enriching experience and constitutes an excellent opportunity to be involved in a more intercultural daily life.

Students will complete a pre-arrival housing form to help on-site staff to find the most appropriate host-family.

  • Airport Transportation on the official program start day.
