What Expanish Looks for in Each Student Accommodation

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.

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 can be conformed by a señora, a married couple with small children, a parent with their college age children, etc. Students share family meals and can take advantage of the opportunity to practice Spanish on a daily basis.

2. Shared 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 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.
