Dépenses habituelles

I lived near the university, so my transport costs were lower than in London. I didn't use a mobile phone nor a home phone so that cost was lower too. The nightlife in Bs As is expensive but Belgrano organised free parties at different nightclubs every week so that kept that cost down. The food in supermarkets was many times slightly more expensive than in London.

Commentaire personnel

Bs As is normally expensive but after the parity with the dollar was dropped, it's now a lot cheaper. Go to the parties that Belgrano organises because they are good and that way you save a lot of money. Make an effort to find cheaper restaurants because they do exist (ie don't stick to Recoleta).

Commentaire personnel

My Spanish was good before going to Bs As but I wasn't prepared for how different the Spanish spoken in Argentina is from the one spoken in Spain. My first month was very difficult but then it all got easier gradually. I've got no problems communicating now (but I still have to concentrate a lot while listening though!).

Si j'avais su

That it takes a while to get to know a big city like Bs As and that it's always a bit difficult at first and that the Argentinian Spanish was so difficult and different.

A mon avis:

J'ai aimé mais pas sûr que c'est pour tous

Recommandation personnelle

I think Belgrano has some good courses but do try a few before you decide so that you'll have a good academic experience. The social aspect is excellent: the university organised parties, free tango lessons etc, really made you feel at home and was always there if you needed to ask about something.

Get to know the locals, explore the city because it's got many 'hidden treasures' and also take the opportunity to see the rest of the country (eg Mendoza, Salta, Cataratas de Iguazú, Bariloche, Puerto Madryn etc) and the rest of the region (eg Peru, Chile and Brazil, which are all fantastic!).

Recommandations de cours

Choose courses with Argentinian students as they are more challenging and that way you'll learn more while at the same time getting to know the locals. Belgrano has many courses only for international students and although many of them are very good, if you only choose these courses you won't get to know any Argentinians (and your Spanish won't improve much!).

More challenging courses (at least the ones for international students). Some teachers seem to think that you're only there on holidays and don't realise that you really want to learn something.

Commentaire personnel

Ribera Este is the nicest nightclub I've been to in my entire life! Check out a soccer game and learn some tango. Bs As has got some of the best ice cream, in Recoleta and Palermo there are some great 'heladerías'. Do try and see more than just Bs As though (eg Mendoza, Salta, Bariloche etc) - the country is beautiful and has a lot to offer.

Commentaire personnel

The International Relations Dept at Belgrano is very helpful and always assists you with finding a room with a family close to the university and also has a listing of apartments available. The only drawback from staying with a family is that it is expensive (US$350 per month with breakfast).
