HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? You are independent and can do what you want.
Personal comments:
In Buenos Aires Housing was not too difficult to find. Normally through university you meet people who rent an apartment. Otherwise you find good offers in newspapers. The problem in Argentina is that as foreigner you always pay a higher rent than locals (due to the economic crisis a few years ago). But this is normal and has nothing to do with the university.

Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Desnivel (Defensa 855 in San Telmo) - very good place where mostly locals go. Therefore it is not too expensive. It is always crowded there. Sucre (Sucre 676)- a very stylish but more expensive restaurant. Very nice decoration. A nice area for going to bars: Palermo viejo (Soul Cafe, Dominga) Happening: nice but more expensive restaurant in Puerto Madero. But very nice food... Milion (www.milion.com.ar) restaurant and bar in a beautiful building. Very nice in summer El Ateneo (Av. Santa Fe 1860): a book store in a former theater. Nice to see. There is a lovely bar on the scene where you can relax, enjoy your coffe and look through some books Museum (Perú 535): a nightclub/bar designed by Mr. Eiffel( the one who did build the Eiffel tower). Evere Wednesday good after work party

Was learning German a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.

As I grew up bilingual (German & Spanish) I had no communication problems. But Argentinans are very friendly with foreigners and don't mind repeating or explaining things.

In general the cost of living in Argentina is lower than before the crisis. Nevertheless as foreigner you pay higher house rent, flights and hotels than locals.
Travel: was more expensive than at home.

Food, Nightlife: was less expensive than at home.

I was recommended to open a bank account at Citybank. In Argentina there are a lot of branches and you can get money from cash dispensers without paying fees. I tried also traveller cheques- nearly impossible to get rid of them.

Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.

Improved language skills

Became more independent

Personal recommendation:
UADE is a great place to go. It is located quite in the city and transports are good. You can choose to take courses either in the morning or in the evening until 10pm. Although there were no on campus activities (such as sports, theater) it is easy to meet other students. They were really helpful in showing us places, going out with us or helping prepare for exams. The reason why there are no on campus activities is, that most students have their jobs. Therefore they just go to classes and don't spend additional time on campus. If you want a university with a lot of on campus activities: then UADE is not the right university for you.



FINAL COMMENTS

My semester in Buenos Aires was great. I travelled a lot, had very interesting courses and met very nice local people.
