Personal spending habits
Life in Argentina and above all in Buenos Aires (in almost any category) is a lot more expensibe than in France.
Further more, the currencies there are the Peso and the American dolar (both have exactly the same rate), and at that time, the $ was very expensive for French people.

Personal comments
Even though it is always harder to communicate with young people of your age, because of the slang, i did not have many problems to expresse myself.
Of course, the best way to progress in the local language is to live in a family and to meet local people.

Academic
Course recommendations
If you study business, especially marketing, choose the courses for posgraded in "La Escuela de Comercio". The quality is a lot better than in "La Torre".
Anyway, don't come to Buenos Aires -Belgrano University just for the studies, courses are generally disppointing and most foreign students agree.
