Buenos Aires, Argentina
Founded in 1536, this bustling metropolis reveals its European and Middle Eastern influence everywhere you look. Buenos Aires is a vibrant port city and the world’s leading Spanish language publishing hub. Travelers enjoy world-class museums and restaurants, exceptional architecture, and a rousing nightlife. With weather that is pleasantly mild, year-round, Buenos Aires is always ready for exploration by bike, public transportation, or on foot - one of the many reasons it was voted “the number-one city to visit” in Latin America.
Accommodations
Homestay
To complete your Argentine cultural experience, live with a local family. Students are placed with carefully screened homestay families. Each family has at least one member that can speak English. Hosts may be families with young children, single professionals, young couples with no children, or older couples.
Meals
Homestays include two meals per day: breakfast and either lunch or dinner. Students are responsible for the other meal. Host families and students decide meals together. Meals are not included as part of your SHU study abroad program fees. Visit CIEE's website for more information on meal costs not included in housing fees.
