When I get to Buenos Aires, how do I get to my place?
We will send you the address of the place (host family, hostel, student residence or hotel) where you will stay so that you can get there by taxi.
However, generally students prefer to have an airport pickup handled by the school. This service is available for an additional fee of US$ 30 (way/person). You give us your flight details (date and time of arrival, Airline and flight number) then we pick you up at the International Ezeiza Airport and drive you to your accommodation.
Who should I contact if I have any problem upon arrival?
Once your enrolment is confirmed, we will send you some useful information, including an emergency mobile phone number, which you can reach 24h a day, in case of a problem.
Should I bring gifts to my family and teachers?
This is up to you. If you wish to do so, you may. This gesture seems very kind and certainly will be an excellent introduction card.
