How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

Six months and I received only 750€ which, of course, it doesn't event cover the flight.

What is the student lifestyle like in Buenos Aires?

Would you recommend the city and the University of Buenos Aires to other students?

I would strongly recommend the city, maybe not UBA because it's too much massified. I study in another university, UNSAM, which is smaller and nicer.
