Nice campuses but hard to communicate by email to understand how to pick the classes

Loved going to Pucon (10h south), lots of last minutes plans that were amazing

Great metro lines but overall it’s kinda dangerous everywhere (robbing, burgling, attacks…) Always use uber when going out after the sunset. Don’t go to any weird places by yourself

I loved it it was so nice to share the house with other exchanged students. However we had like a « manager » that took care of the house and we didn’t get along. The only negative point.

Try everything. Everything is different but worth it.

I recommend the « speaking/more exchanging » classes. Do not recommend the « numbers » class. You will not want to study and these ones need more study time.

Campus amazing. Very American. I would pick the same uni because I had the choice between only two. But it’s really far away and the administration is terrible. It’s just that the over one is worse.

The neighborhood is very nice, there are shops and bar near, the metro station is very close. It was very close to a PUC campus, which was amazing to go study.

I recommend the following clubs: Club Amanda, Sala Gente, Miercoles po, Subterráneo, Bosque Luz.

Take electives, the Law School is challenging.

10/10, the campus, the registration. I would totally recommend the uni, it is one of the best in Latinoamerica.

Near Santiago: Zapallar, Maitencillo, Cachagua; El Cajon del Maipo, Valle Elqui; go to ski to the Cordillera; Valparaiso, Viña Del Mar, Bahía Inglesa, Salto de Apoquindo; Pucon, Cochamó, ...

studcasa -> santiago exchange

a fuir, beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c’est, la maison est très ancienne (pas du tout isolé que ce soit en hiver ou en été et même niveau bruit on entend tout de partout dans la maison). Santiago exchange est un mauvais organisme qui gère très mal ses maisons et ses clients (impossible d’avoir des réponses ou des solutions à nos questions etc)

/

les cours en ligne, en anglais (le chilien est bien plus dur à comprendre que l’espagnol classique)

le campus est super sympa (grand campus à l’américaine), en revanche très excentré (facile en transport en commun comme le métro/bus qui sont propres et très accessible)

vina del mar, la patagonie, atacama, bolivie et pérou

santiago est assez safe en général (si dans les bons quartiers), c’est une grande ville donc avec beaucoup de vie en revanche fait assez vite le tour des activités (pas beaucoup de touristes donc pas beaucoup d’activité touristique) et niveau prix le chili c’est assez cher (moins que la france mais plus que d’autre pays d’amérique du sud) mais il y a des tas de petits trucs locaux pas cher du tout à découvrir

don't get a visa and just visit latin america, you can stay on chilean territory for 90 days and every time you cross the border of chili these 90 days are renewed so no need for a visa, it takes time, money but it's useless

I'm in the campus on Huechuraba, everya administration things are easy, Victoria is all the time available, i would pick the same uni if I had to. The only bad side, is that we are the last university to finish classes, we finish classes and exams later than most universities.

It was clean and cool to meet new people from different countries (Spain, Germany, Brazil, Colombia...) But it's expensive for the neighborhood..

MiercolesPo, the student party every wednesday. Barrio Italia, Barrio Lastaria are very good place too

I would recommend marketing, marketing digital and strategy

The campus is super cool, very clean, and modern. you have to be reactive for the registration too the course but you can manage it after.

You can travel a lot: Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Brazil

Transport in Santiago is extremely easy to use and very affordable. The metro is clean, efficient, and well-connected, so you can move around the city quickly without spending much. Uber also works very well and is a convenient option at night. The weather is one of Santiago’s biggest advantages — long sunny seasons, dry heat in summer, and generally mild temperatures the rest of the year. You can enjoy outdoor activities almost every week. In terms of safety, the city is safe as long as you stay aware, mainly in a few central areas at night. The biggest risk is phone theft, so keep it inside your bag when you’re walking around. Overall, Santiago is a great place to live as a student: affordable daily life, excellent transport, a pleasant climate, and a relaxed lifestyle that’s easy to enjoy once you get into the rhythm of the city.

Casa website (lacasadeBeatriz)

It was really nice because I was with other exchange students (especially French people) and at the same time I was with the owner of the house who is like our grandma, we could share dinners all together and also practice chilean with her.

The best neighborhood for bars is Barrio Italia. For the clubs MiercolesPo is good or also the Blondie Club. The best thing to do also is to go to exchange events, there are every week.

I was in the International Business program, classes of English Business are easy and Latin American Business and Politics class is very interesting.

The campus is amazing but a bit far from the city centre but the campus is in the Andes and there are a lot of events for exchange students organized by the International Club.

You can do a lot of things from Santiago, you can go to the Atacama desert, to the ocean (Vina Del Mar or Valparaiso) you can take buses or planes to go to Bolivia, Argentina and also visit Patagonia. There are a lot of amazing regions in Chile too like Pucon with lakes and volcans, Pichilemu to surf...

Santiago is really big so sometimes you have to take public transports during more than 1 hour to go somewhere but there are a lot of buses and metros. The weather is good, it does not rain often. The cost of living is often less than in France but for the groceries it is the same.

In las condes the rich neighborood of santiago

Instagram : casona tarapaca

It is a really great spot : in front of a bus stop and near supermarket and a lor of shops. The neighborood is really safe and nice to live in. However the casa is not really modern but it is the case for most of the casa in santiago. If i had to choose i would pick the same place because the house really has a vibe " vacation" and it is great to live in !

The best restaurants are : the bocanaris and the bistrot de gaetan

I had a lot of classes in modules, it means that there is no programm class and every week you just have homework to do and so it was really easy because i could do the works anytime i wanted. For exemple : symbolisme and strangeness in latin america itterature. I also have classes such as sport management that was really great because the tâcher was understanding and the subjectif was really interesting ( and there was not too muchas work to do)

The campus was huge, like in the usa and it was really nice to study in this place. For the registration it was easy unless for the course registration : you need to do it really early and to pick the classes you want before register.

Bolivia amazing landscapes ! Perou also incrédible because of the cultural historique and also the crazy landscapes. And also brazil !! Just beautiful

The transport cost us kind of high : 770 pesos chilenos for one traject. And you need to charge your bip card ( the metro and bus card) to be able to go to the bus or metro.

In the "Bario Brazil", a neighborhood located near the center of Santiago

https://www.flatmaters.com

I definitely recommend this agency since the places they rent are really clean, beautiful and usually well located, with a decent price. They are really concerned about your welfare and respond quite quickly.

Santiago is pretty nice when it comes to night life and to just grab a drink somewhere but it's usually pretty far from where you live (depends on where you are off course). The famous exchange party is called Miercoles Po and takes place every Wednesday (Miercoles). It is free and really nice but becomes a bit boring after a few months. The selection of places to eat and drink in Santiago is very nice and you'll find what you are looking for.

I would recommend Economy 1, Presupuestos and Investigacion de Mercados as these classes are really easy and sometimes are on a remote program (allows you to travel a lot). I wouldn't recommend the marketing classes as they are pretty hard and requires a lot of work to even have barely acceptable grades (you are struggling all semester). Also all classes are taught in Spanish so it can be quite tricky for the exams as you have the same as the locals. Be aware of that.

Nice school with friendly people (however most of them don't come to talk with you, you have to approach them). The campuses are clean, new and well equipped. The registration is a bit difficult however. The people in charge of the exchange students are not very present and send only a couple mails during the entire semester. This makes the experience a bit dull. There is no international association so you are basically solo if you don't have friends there. To be honest if I could pick an other university I would.... But it is still a pretty good university.

This is the best part about Santiago. You can basically go anywhere you want and there is a LOT of things to do outside of the city. Many nature places to visit, activities to enjoy and sports to practice. Also it is the perfect door to visit the countries around (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru...)

Santiago in itself is a tough call. The city is globally clean, well deserved in terms of transports and have a UBER network that is perfect and very cheap. A lot of parks to visit and rest in. However, the city isn't as safe as you think it would be, the cost of living is very high for Latin America and it is very polluted in some areas. Also, as the city is huge, it takes a lot of time to go from one point to another

Very good mood, Shared house of 10 (mixed) Have a very nice terrace and very modern. Everything is clean and works. Just : rent a bit high for the neighborhood - Owner stingy Rules : not allowed to have a party after 11pm I the house - except if every member agrees

Very cool and cheap bars : Patio Bellavista Clubs : Recoleta/pio non (very dangerous outside, always take an uber to go and return) Very cool activities : trekking in (Chile Exterm - only in Spanish tours)

I only have 4 classes/week, so 2 days of class : - Creacion y direccion de ONG : very chill class (tests very easy MCQ - and reports) - Tuesdays mornings - Sostenbilidad empresarial : NO - not chill on absences & teacher mean towards exchange students - Tuesdays afternoons - Fundamentos de gestion financiera : Presence not mandatory but a bit difficult if you never did a finance class, exams hard but if you study a little, easy to pass the class - Wednesdays (12h-16h, lunch break btw) -

Campus San Joaquin very cool, huge You can find everything, sports accommodation and even a Starbucks ! I advice to subscribe to the buddy program and thus make chilean friends !

Santiago and Chile in general is a super Coll country for sports and trekking fans. There is plenty of difference climas and landscapes. North of the country : desierto de Atacama South : Patagonia West : Beaches to surf ! (the water is cold tho) - Valparaiso, Concon, Vina Del Mar (bus) Near Santiago : you can ski or go on a 1 day trek (there is a lot of "cerros" reachable by bus/subway) --> Cerro San Cristóbal (very easy, touristic), Cerro Manquehue (harder, 1 day trek)... Also, you can go by night bus to Mendoza, Argentina

1. Understand the city layout Santiago is huge but well-structured. Key neighborhoods: Providencia & Ñuñoa → great for students, cafés, bars, and safe streets. Bellavista → bohemian vibe, nightlife, colorful murals. Las Condes & Vitacura → modern, upscale, business area. Centro → historical heart, but can be chaotic. The Andes Mountains are visible from most parts of the city — perfect for orientation (and for your mood). 2. Get around efficiently The Metro is clean, fast, and safe — get a Bip! card (works for metro + bus). Peak hours (7:30–9:30 AM, 6–8 PM) = packed trains. Try to avoid them. Uber and Didi are widely used, often cheaper and safer than taxis. Walking and cycling are safe in central areas (especially Providencia & Ñuñoa). But take care of your belongings (try to not use your phone in the streets), the is a lot of thiefs. 3. Food I don't recommend Chilean food, didn't like it - but could be fun to try a "Mote con huessillos" or a "pastel de choclo" Cheap market to go shop groceries : La Vega 4. Cost of living & money hacks Expensive: rent, imported goods, tech, and eating out often. Affordable: public transport, local produce, markets, street food. Use apps like Rappi, Cornershop, PedidosYa for delivery. 5. Stay safe & practical Santiago is relatively safe, but: Don’t show valuables in public. Keep an eye on your bag in crowded places (metro, events). Smog can be an issue - lots of pollution

In las condes, a safe résidentiel neighborhood recommended for students

Instagram, we have Lang options

I recommend it because it allows you to meet lots of people from different countries, and it s the cheapest option. However, you need to be prepared, the lifestyle is not the same as in France ( more community living) so it might feel a bit old fashioned or basic. Also make sure to bring some warm clothes for July and August, it’s really winter and most houses don’t have heating.

I don’t think Santiago is the best city in terms of nightlife and all that. But like any big city, they are plenty of bars(Providencia He’s the best area for that). There are also clubs and especially “miercoles po “ which is organised every Wednesday for student.

I recommend taking the courses in English they are the easiest ones. Sports management is pretty good. It doesn’t require much work or attendance. Avoid classes that require tutoring sessions.

The campus Is really nice. It’s huge and you literally have everything inside. However, it’s quite far really at the age of the city. Even I, who live in the same neighbourhood had a 45 minute commute, but I still recommend it

You can really travel everywhere from Santiago with cheap flights. You can visit atacama, Valparaiso and Patagonia. You can also go easily and affordably go to Bolivia ( uyuni salt flats). It’s so beautiful and very near to chili when you are in atacama. Peru is quite close too and Argentina is an amazing country. Like most students, you can also go to Brazil. It’s totally worth it while you are there because flight tickets are really cheap. In Chile, you can also visit Easter island. It’s stunning but a bit more expensive.

Santiago is a pretty city but quick to visit. I especially recommend going to San Cristóbal, which has an amazing view, and there are several nice neighborhoods to explore. As for the city itself, Chile is one of the most expensive countries in Latin America. It’s still cheaper than France, but if you visit Peru or Bolivia, you’ll realize it’s relatively pricey. So don’t expect super low prices. In terms of transport, the city is very well connected, with both metro and buses. You’ll probably use the bus more often, and for that, you’ll need a rechargeable card (there’s no subscription system). As for the weather, it’s quite similar to France but reversed. Their winter is shorter and a bit milder, but temperatures can still go below 10°C. They start to rise around September, and then summer arrives with temperatures around 30°C, though it rarely gets hotter. I’ve heard summer temperatures last quite a while, but I was only there for one semester. Regarding safety, since it’s often a concern in Latin America, Chile is considered a safe country, and that’s true. Of course, some areas should be avoided, especially at night (like Estación Central), but overall it’s safe, just be careful with your phone. Overall, it’s a really pleasant city to live in

In Chile, people don’t really speak Spanish, they speak Chilean. Their accent is really hard to understand, and English isn’t widely spoken. But Chileans are so kind and warm that it’s okay, even if communication can be a bit difficult.
