IES La Plata selects housing that reflects typical student accommodations for the specific program site. IES students are expected to adapt to their accommodations and to respect the cultural context in which they are living. IES La Plata offers two housing options. One option is to live with a family in a private home in La Plata with another IES student.
Students living in a homestay receive two meals daily during the week and all meals on weekends.
The second option is to live in a student apartment with Argentine roommates. Students living in apartments eat breakfast at home and receive vouchers for restaurants and grocery stores. Meals can be taken inexpensively at restaurants operated for university students. All accommodations are screened and approved by an IES La Plata staff member.
