You may enjoy theatre, music, dance, sports... each day of the week (and each night). There are always special shows and events and many things for free. You can check the page of Buenos Aires government to choose what to do, but pay attention... If you don't you may be attracted by night pubs and "boliches" and will do anything of your responsibilities as student.

What is the student lifestyle like in Buenos Aires?

It is a happy life! Young people use to be connected all the time. We love drink coffe, mate or tea for hours chatting about life, politics, family... And sometimes gossip too.

Lifestyle is nice and friendly, but you must be very smart about how to distribute your time. Usually, classes start early in the morning and finish very late. The public University open at 7 and close at 23h.

Young people study and work at the same time. They also like go to the gym, because appearance is important. Girls like to dress trendily, and recently also the men. This is part of the young culture.

Finally, the lifestyle includes a great nightlife... The bars and pubs open very late and close around 6/7 am (even during the week).
