Moving to Buenos Aires Argentina from San Diego, CA?
Hey everyone, I'm thinking about moving to Buenos Aires in a year and just had a few questions about the city, and moving abroad as a whole. Considering the rising economy, is BA still reasonably affordable? How's the diversity in BA (sexuality, ethnicities, spiritualities ect ect) Anyone have any experience at University of Buenos Aires as a foriegn student? Is BA a trendy place for expats? I -After further investigation, this subtle reputation turns me off. I'd like to find a rather bohemian place that's far away from American culture... If I arrive with 5,000USD at my disposal, could I afford living modestly (and as a student) with a part-time/full-time job. I obviously want to learn the Spanish language, and just be immersed in a completely different environment....the articles about Buenos Aries becoming a "haven" for expats just sours my dream a little bit. Or maybe I'm just envious of those who have already made the move.

Hey what's up. Well i am from Argentina (born there/lived in U.S my whole life). I am sorry but i don't know the prices or how it will be for a foreign exchange student. But. If you go on facebook. They have a group page for expats in Argentina. It talks about accommodations, groups, etc. The diversity in BA is reminiscent of Europe. Culturally the people have a high influence of Italian and Spanish. 90% of the people in BA are Italian, Basque, German, French, etc descent. The rest are Bolivian, Paraguayans with some Asian and Africans. The Spanish (Castellano) accent is a lot different from other LA countries, because of the massive Italian/European immigration. So it might be hard for a beginner. This is about all i can tell you. Good luck.
