HOUSING
Homestay: Experience real, day-to-day life in Buenos Aires by living with an Argentine host family. Host options may be traditional and nontraditional, including nuclear families with young children, single professionals, young couples with no children, and older couples whose children visit but do not live at home. We match as much as possible family hosts to student preferences. The typical commute between homestays and CIEE Buenos Aires is 30-40 minutes on average by public transportation.
-
MEALS
Local home family stays include two meals per day: breakfast and either lunch or dinner. Host families and students arrange their own meal schedules. Students are responsible for the remaining meal, either preparing them at home or eating in one of many restaurants and cafés throughout the city.
Academic-year students have a three-month break from December to February between semesters, during which they are responsible for housing and meals.
