Unterkunft
Mente offers housing in student residences (a hostel-type accommodation - shared rooms), shared apartments (individual rooms), homestays (individual rooms), and private apartments. What accommodation you choose is up to your personal preference. While student residences and shared apartments are a great way to meet other people and socialize, private apartments offer the most privacy, and homestays are usually the best way to train your Spanish.
Your program coordinator in Buenos Aires will be sending you a special pre-departure information packet 10 days to two weeks before you are set to arrive. This email attachment will contain your specific apartment location, tips for getting around the city, pick-up confirmation details, and some other important information about the program. You can include your housing preferences in your application and you can be sure that all accommodations are located in good and safe areas.
Please keep in mind that your program officially begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. They give every Mente Argentina participant an extra two days or nights to get settled in and prepare before the program starts (arriving the Saturday before the program start date at no extra cost). After that, you are more than welcome to book extra time in your accommodation keeping in mind additional fees that would depend on your chosen type of accommodation.
Pillows, sheets, and towels are provided, although, depending mostly on the program duration, some participants prefer to bring their own. As for the items in the apartments, they come fully furnished with all major electronics, appliances, and utensils, including everything you need to cook. They come with linens and a weekly maid service and will be equipped with high-speed internet.
Shared apartments
If you would like to have your own private bedroom and also meet participants from all over the world, shared apartments are probably the best option. The majority of Mente Argentina's participants chose the shared apartments because they provide the perfect mix of privacy (private room) and meeting other international participants.
Homestays
Having a home base, friendly daily interactions and Spanish practice are all great reasons why participants choose the homestay option. The homestay option offers you a private room with your own private bathroom in a personal family environment. You will not have specific responsibilities when you live with a family such as particular duties or chores, but you will be expected to respect all of the rules and guidelines that other household members respect.
The families they work with a generally very liberal, open-minded, and flexible, so that they have an accurate understanding of a young person’s lifestyle when they visit Buenos Aires. Although you will be expected to follow basic house rules, you will have the opportunity to talk to the family about your habits and preferred schedule.
Private apartments
A private apartment is another option that tends to be favored by working professionals with more experience and by participants over 30 years old. Living in accordance with the rules of a family, or sharing the apartment with somebody else can sometimes be limiting for participants accustomed to living independently, so this is something to keep in mind when choosing an accommodation option.
Student residence
The student residence resembles a university dorm, with up to four students in every room. In terms of who you will be living with, the student residences house a variety of students, including Argentines, students from other South American countries, other international students currently studying in BA, and Mente Argentina students. If you are on a budget, and you do not mind sharing your room with other participants, this would probably be the right choice.
Programm
It is almost impossible to talk about Argentine culture without mentioning the passionate, playful, rich tango history that is still very much alive today. Tango music was born in Argentina, and is still an integral part of Argentine pride. Although tango, also known as “the dance of the hug”, has its origins in the Rio de la Plata region, has become popular worldwide and appeals to people of all ages.
The international community is drawn to Argentina and particularly Buenos Aires, looking to experience the late-night milongas (Argentine tango clubs), take classes, see dance and music shows, and immerse themselves in the tango culture that has defined the country. Mente Argentina offers you a program that will introduce you to the intricate and unforgettable world of tango, allowing you to learn the traditional tango in a fun and innovative way.
The goal of the tango program is to teach students techniques and style of the traditional Argentine tango dance, as well as introduce them to the beautiful rich history of the Argentine culture through the art of tango. Tango is a vital part of Argentine history and understanding its origins and roles will give participants a deeper comprehension of the country and city of Buenos Aires. Through the Mente Argentina tango program, participants will learn the secrets of tango dance, which will introduce them to an international dance scene that is valued and practiced worldwide.
