What is the difference between a homestay and a shared student apartment?
Students frequently ask about the main differences between a homestay and a shared student apartment. These two housing options usually fit two different needs and expectations for students. Students who select a homestay often want to live with a local family and experience South American and Argentine customs and culture on a daily basis, including the unique insight that the option of daily meals provides. Study abroad students who opt for a shared student apartment usually want to live with other young people and are looking for a greater level of independence. Both experiences allow you to practice your Spanish skills on a regular basis and experience domestic life in Buenos Aires as it is lived every day.
