Host Families
We highly recommend that BridgeArgentina students stay with a local family during their course. It is a great way to practice your Spanish skills outside the classroom and to learn more about the country's culture, people, and cuisine. Homestays allow you to fully immerse yourself in the study abroad experience and can be an integral part of your language learning.

Information about host family lodging
|
|
|
 |
Each student will have a private bedroom and a shared bathroom. |
|
Host families can provide breakfast and dinner, or breakfast only, depending on the housing package you select. |
|
All of our host families are middle-class by Argentinean standards, and live in apartments or homes in typical "porteño" neighborhoods. |
|
Many host families are individuals living alone, but some are couples with or without children. Very few families have young children, but some have grandchildren around quite frequently. |
|
Distances to the school vary from 20 to 60 minutes by public transportation. |
|
All families are carefully screened and visited to ensure that the accommodations are suitable for students. |
|
Many families have been with the program for years and have consistently received excellent student evaluations. |
|
Many families host several BridgeArgentina Spanish students at the same time. |
|
Students may come and go as they please, but are asked to respect the routine and wishes of the host family. |

Apartments
Apartments are a great option for students looking for more privacy and/or the luxuries of home. If you have special requests such as a double bed, cable TV, and Internet, an apartment may suit you better than a host family. Apartments are also a good choice for those with very special diet needs. You can research and reserve one easily online, choosing the neighborhood that you prefer. We recommend visiting the following sites:

Hotels and Apart-Hotels
Hotels typically offer more amenities and privacy and are recommended for students who prefer more luxurious lodging. These hotels include a private bathroom and cleaning service, and laundry service is typically available. In hotels and apart-hotels, meals are generally not included, with the exception of breakfast in some locations. Apart-hotels also include a small kitchenette and living area. We will happily provide a listing of hotels and apart-hotels in Buenos Aires upon request. |
