Experience in Buenos Aires, Argentina by Abi

What is it like to live in Buenos Aires? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Living in Buenos Aires if you are young is fantastic, the thing for most european is that Buenos Aires is a big city, much bigger that any european so that might be difficult at the bigginig but its cultural life, night life and youth it's definitely something to see and experience.

What is the student lifestyle like in Buenos Aires?

It's a little expensive which makes things hard sometimes and since its big it takes a lot of time to get to places.

I would say if you are foreigner and you are coming to Argentina for only 6 months or a year maybe it's better another city like Rosario, Cordoba or Santa Fe, which are also very nice and lively cities but a lot easier to handle and learn.

How much does it cost to live in Buenos Aires?

A lot... I would say a little bit cheaper than Milan, eating outside is more expensive but rent is a lot less.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Buenos Aires? Is there any advice you can give?

It's not hard for foreigners the only thing is that most times they ask you to pay many months in advanced since you can not show guaranties.
