What can I expect to pay in terms of rent for an apartment in Buenos Aires? I am looking for an unfurnished 1-bedroom apartment or studio, ideally around 50 square meters and in Palermo or Barrio Norte (all though I would definitely take other safe barrios into consideration) for an indefinite period of time. The ads for temporrary furnished places you find all over the place are not helpful in this regard. What would an apartment like this typically go for, including all extra costs (cleaning the stairs, taking away the trash, taxes, utilities). Yes, and I know it's hard for foreigners because I own no property in BsAs, but I would put up a big deposit if necessary.

Where do most exchange students in Buenos Aires live? I will be on exchange in Buenos Aires as of March of next year and I would like to meet people and have a great time. I would love to live in an apartment with other students but I don't know how easy it is to do this. Living with a host family doesn't particularly appeal to me and I've heard that residences are not nice to live in at all. I haven't yet chosen the university that I am going to study at, but I am trying to look for one that offers a good exchange program so that I can actually meet other exchange students and hopefully many Argentines. If there are any people that have been on exchanges to Buenos Aires and had excellent experiences, I would love to hear any suggestions/advice that you may have.

How comfortable can I live in Buenos Aires on my pension of $1250 USD/month? I was in the US Navy, and got injured, so now I receive $1,250 USD/ month tax free for the rest of my life. I also have a Bachelors Degree in Business with a concentration in marketing from the University of Michigan. I have $15,000 saved in the bank, and would like to check out prospective entrepreneurial opportunities to invest my $15,000 dollars. I have a year of Spanish from University of Michigan, but by no means can carry a conversation in Spanish. If I dedicate myself to studying espanol, how long do you think it would take before I can effectively communicate with the locals? Also, how does Montevido stack up against Buenos Aires for quality of life for a person in my position. I am a young man (27 years old in relatively good health) and absolutely love latina women, so I would like to live in an area with a nice dating scene too. Also, how hard would it be to bring my dog down there with me and find a dog friendly apartment? Any feedback would be appreciated. thank you sfdlac, I have considered Bogota in the past, but my concern is that it is too hot there for my liking. I sweat a lot, and don't know if I could handle the heat. So you think I could live comfortably on 1250 USD / month? I would like to live in a nice, safe area. Thanks for all the information. So if I got a job teaching english, how much would I usually be able to make per month doing that?

Going to South America in November for 3 months? With boyfriend (age 26,27). We plan to spend 1 of the 3 months in Buenos Aires in an apartment, but keep debating on how we should spend our last 2 months after that. We want to see Iguazu Falls, wine country (maybe) and other things nearby, but not sure what we have time for (Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Uruguay?). Not interested in going north (Columbia, Ecuador, Venezuela). Also, we will be flying back out of BA so we can't travel too far unless we take flights within the continent. I'm traveling with a 40L backpack, so lots of flexibility for travel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm into people watching/sitting outside at a cafe/outdoorsy stuff. Not much for spending hours in a museum or shopping. Love to dance, see live music, and eat!
