Living in Buenos Aires
Housing
NYU requires that all students live in NYU-arranged accommodation. You may choose between living in the residence halls located in trendy Palermo Viejo, or doing a homestay with a local family. The student residences are about a 20-minute commute to the academic center. The residence halls are home to an exciting and diverse community of local and international students and feature cafeterias, computer labs, outdoor courtyards, study lounges, and emergency medical services. Furnished rooms, including linens, telephone, cable TV, and private lockers, are shared by two or three students. Homestays are ideal for students who desire a true immersion experience. In most households, bathrooms are usually shared, and students either have kitchen privileges or share meals with their host families.
Meals
There is a meal plan at the residence halls, students can also opt to eat out. Students staying with a homestay usually have kitchen privileges or share meals with their host families. Students will be shown where groceries and supermarkets are located in their neighborhood.
What to do when you first arrive
Head outside for a beautiful and scenic walk around your neighborhood. Take note of the incredible architecture.
Student discounts are sometimes available, so bring your ID with you.
Buenos Aires is known for having delicious restaurants in every neighborhood. If your diet includes meat, you absolutely must check out a popular parrilla to sample the asado.
This seems obvious, but for some reason people forget. Just do it.
