the neighboord was safe and you have everything ( restaurants, gym, grocery shops…) and it’s at 20mins by car from the university. The flat was super clean and new. The only problème is that you share the flat with the landlord but i think you can book him for 4 persons and he will not be here

There are many clubs in bogota especialy in carrera 85. Reggeaton is the type of music that you have the most in the clubs but you can also find some club of tekno, house, elec. And there is one who is called « gringo tuesday » it’s only on tuesday and you have international music. People are really nice, if you hang out with your friends colombiens people gonna talk to you, they are super nice. You should go to Theatron is the biggest club in America Latina and it’s fun. There isn’t many events for international students not as in barcelona.

i recommend strategy the teacher is super nice with you if you attend at his classes you will have 5/5 at each exams. International Trade also the teacher is super nice. Creatividad marketing is fun, we cooked. International Business Management is super easy to have good note.

the campus was in the north of the city ( campus Sede Norte ). There is nothing around but the campus is nice you have little restaurant ( pokebawl, « thai », a self, and others things ) . You can do differents sports, we have courts of tennis, a football court, rugby, squash, dance….and it’s free. I think this campus is better than the one in the south if you can choose because the other is in a bad part of bogota the neighboord is not safe.

It’s easy to travel from Bogota, you can take the plan and go to medellin, cartagena, santa marta, salento for 60€ the plane ticket. And the cost of restaurant and airbnb are not expensive you can also take the bus is cheaper but it’s a bit long. If i have to choose only 3 destinations : Medellin, Santa Marta ( costeno beach, parc tayrona ) and Cocoavalley ( salento ). You can also travel to Peru, Panama, Bolivie and every country in America Latina easily.

for the transport you have to take the uber it’s not expensive at all. The Bus is not recommended bc it’s easy to be ropped and it’s not really safe. You can really walk in the street like in Europe the city is big and if you want to do somewhere you it will take 1h by walk. Also the night, you don’t have to walk in the street even if you are in group, some friends have been ropped. The restaurant are not expensive, a plate will cost you less than 10€ even in the really good one. The weather is always the same, you don’t have seasons is not that cold but is not hot, except when the sun is out.

In the center of Bogota (Candelaria)

the landlord’s number

I lived with 20 other students, and we were always doing tons of activities together (most of us were studying political science), so the atmosphere was amazing. The only downside: you have to go back to France after that.

The "zona T", the "teatron" etc

Ethica and foreign compartive policy

I didn’t have many classes, and the professors were very friendly.

Traveling in Colombia is really easy. Everything is done by bus, so it can be long, but the buses are comfortable and really cheap. Plus, Bogotá is right in the center of everything. Sometimes you do need to take a plane because certain places aren’t accessible by bus, but if you book in advance, it’s not that expensive (Salento, la costa caraiba, tatacoa, medellin,la costa pacifica, amazonia, la guajira, villa de leyva, el santander etc)

It’s a city that can feel a bit stressful in terms of security (more about belongings than personal safety), and you really need to know that before going. You can’t walk around at night—you have to take Ubers (which are really cheap). But apart from that, it’s an incredibly lively city with a great atmosphere, full of activities and history, and it’s perfect for going out and partying.

GO GO GO, It’s a country incredibly rich in culture and landscapes (very diverse — it has the desert, the jungle, beautiful villages and cities, idyllic beaches). You don’t even need to leave the country because there’s so much to do. And I met one of the most welcoming populations in the world there, people are truly adorable.

The residence is very clean but the staff is bad, they make you understand that you are just a gringo for them. I will not get back there, I would choose a residence in the north like between Calle 60 and calle 90

Bar : Felix, BBC Lieu : Zona T Club : Tropico pantera, Radio Estrella, Andres DC, Radio Despecho, Theatron

All, just don't take sustainability

Course are very easy, professor very kind, not too much courses and in English. I recommend 100%

Santa Marta, Medellin, Salento (BUS), Tatacoa Desert (BUS), Cartagena, Mexico : Tulum, Playa del Carmen

always take uber, no taxi. No phone in the hand in the streets. Be careful to not get druged

You will not regret coming to Bogota, but take a good jacket

In Candelaria, 30 minutes by car from the university

University recommendation

It pas very nice because it's a big coliving and this allowed me to meet people. And the neighborhood is very attractive and beautiful !

Best parties and nightclubs, you have to be careful but I didn't feel unsafe. There is a very good life for student.

The AI ​​creation course and the market planning course are very interesting.

The university doesn't host many foreign students, so they're not used to it. You need to be resourceful and ask questions of other students.

Colombia is very diverse; it's possible to see many different things without spending too much money.

Colombians are very kind, don't hesitate to ask them if there's something you don't know. There are lots of buses to get around, but Uber is inexpensive and sometimes safer at night or depending on the location. The weather is the same all year round in Bogota, so bring a few sweaters and rain gear.

Not wanting to plan everything and going with the flow. You just have to seize opportunities !

Nice, a bit cold, and a lot of French people: not a real integration into the culture.

Estrategia de negociación, historia del desarrollo del empresario colombiano

Amazing campus with sports facilities and numerous events.

Taking Ubers is easy, some places should be avoided when alone.

La Candelaria, downtown

https://r10colombia.com/es/home

Yes it was great but it is way too expensive for what it is compared to the average rent of Bogota. Moreover, because of the price only European students can afford it, so among my 20 flatmates, 18 were French, which is cool but not helpful to learn Spanish and the Colombian culture

Every Tuesday : Gringo Tuesday (a party downtown for exchange students) Every Thursday : Jueves de Freud (big party on the campus of the main public university of Bogota, cool to meet Colombians)

I recommend taking classes about Colombia History, very useful to understand the country you are in There is a looooot of extracurricular activities organized by the university - very helpful to meet Colombians

Campus really beautiful Registration ok (could have been more efficient) but way too many homeworks (way more than in others universities) I would rather pick La National, which is the public university to meet more people that reflects more the colombian society

bogota is very central so super easy to travel from travelling in colombia is very cheap

There is some places you cannot go because it is too dangerous, or some places you cannot go after a certain hour but do not stress about that, you will get used to it and at the end you will walk in bogota just like in any other european city

colombia is a beautiful country full of stuff to do and with a very rich culture many other exchange students, you will never feel alone colombians are very welcoming and always offering their help

in the center, but it's a really sketchy neibourhood, not safe at all

centralX

I wouldn't recommend it at all, the staff is really mean with non-columbian people, they don't like us and show us that they don't. they hide the Playstation controler so that we can't play, they also make us wait outside at night when we come home instead of opening the door. also the neighbourhood is really sketchy, they are a lot of crackhead begging for money outside the building.

lots of clubs to go out in the zona T, but you always have to be careful because their are a lot of robbers in the street.

operation management, marketing and supply management are really easy. sustainability is really hard.

in this school, the teachers are really cool with exchange students, they allow you to travel. the campus is small but really modern and cool.

Salento, santa marta, Tatacoa desert, medellin, a lot of things to do in Colombia

their is not a lot of things to do in Bogota.

In Chapinero

Estu casa bogota

La casa est super confortable et bien équipée. Le quartier est mignon, calme, c'est un peu le quartier Bobo de Bogota. En revanche, on ne connaît pas les colocs avec qui on va vivre, ça passe ou ça casse :)

On est en voyage tous les weekends, donc on a pas trop le temps de sortir avec les étudiants. On reste entre étudiants de nos casas (3 casas voisines). Il faut aussi prendre en compte que c'est dangereux de sortir dans les rues la nuit, on ne traîne pas dehors comme en France.

Business Plan, on ne travaille pas vraiment. On discute juste en espagnol

Le campus est grand et il y a plus de 15 terrains de sports. Il est un peu excentrée de la ville donc on passe un peu de temps dans les transports. Pour être honnête, on ne travaille pas, on apprend rien et on peut sécher les cours très facilement. On ne vient pas ici pour développer ses compétences scolaires.

Il y a tellement de voyages possible en Colombie. Tout est magnifique et pas cher. Desert, mer des Caraïbes, Océan Pacifique, vallée du café, Medellin, villages typiques. Mais aussi toute l'Amérique centrale pour moins de 200€ et l'Amérique du Sud pour moins de 400€.

Il n'y a pas énormément d'activités à faire à Bogota. Le point positif c'est que c'est un carrefour pour partir en voyage.

Il ne faut pas se limiter aux aprioris sur la dangerosité du pays. Les voyages sont dingues, les colombiens sont adorables et le coût de la vie est 2 à 3 fois moins cher qu'en France.

Quartier anime et un peu riche

Estu Casa

Casa super confortable, ideal pour rencontrer des étudiants internationaux

Theatron, vidéoclub

Business plan, on ne travaille presque pas

Campus à l’américaine, très grand avec plus de 15 terrains de sports

Tellement de voyages super cool, pour pas cher. La vallée du café, les Caraïbes, le pacifique, le désert

Ville dangereuse et météo pas top. Mais beaucoup d’activités à faire

N’écoutez pas les aprioris sur le pays et foncez, vous n’allez pas être déçus de l’expérience.

Classic Apartment

In « La Candelaria », à 15 min de Uber des boîtes et 10 min à pied de l’école

Website

L’appartement est top et grand (on est 4), le loyer pas si cher. Les gros + : agents de sécurité et accueil 24/24, food truck, salle de sport, salle de « travail » et billard dans le bâtiment et super vue des apparts qui sont hauts. Les moins : il n’y a rien quand tu arrives il faut tout acheter (vaisselles, couette etc). Le quartier est pas hyper safe.

La zone T de Bogota regroupe tous les bars, boites, resto et boutiques. Club : Teatron, Octavia, MAD Radio, Resto : Di Lucca (italien) par ex Bars : Bambule

Tous les cours sont simples, type macro, micro etc (il y a souvent 3 niveaux, il faut prendre nv 1 ou 2 mais pas 3), le cours d’introduction au commerce internationale est super compliqué

Le campus est super, on a eu pas pu aller en cours la première semaine pcq tous les cours qu’on avait pris n’existaient pas, il fallait tout refaire mais après c’était ok donc faut faire gaffe. Il y a peu d’élèves étrangers en soit.

Il y a tous les paysages dans un même pays : San Andrés Santa Marta(Tayrona) Salento Désert de Tatacoa Medellin Cali Carthagenes des Indes Côté ouest : nuqui… (plus difficile d’accès)

Quand tu voyages pas tu t’ennuies un peu à Bogota, c’est très grand, pas très beau et ça sent le poulet frit. Il faut sortir dans le nord, y a pleins de trucs pour le sport (tennis, danse, paddle avec des compétitions). Il faut jamais prendre de taxi jaunes, que des Uber et ne pas rentrer seul.

This house was perfectly located, a 5-minute motorbike ride or a 25-minute walk from the school. There was also a student accommodation called Solar next to the school.

Student life at La Sabana is nice, there are a lot of international students who go out and Colombian students take care of welcoming international students

Take simple courses so you have time to go on weekends. I recommend distance learning courses like Business with Europe/Asia, or even marketing courses that are

Try to have classes on only 3 days so that you have 4 weekend days. The sports activities organized by the school are cool. The campus is incredible and the Colombians are super nice and very welcoming

My best trip was to Peru. We went for 10 days to hike and visit magnificent places like Machu Picchu

I didn't live in Bogota but in Chia, because Sabana is in Chia, about 40-1h from Bogota. Life in Bogota is not amazing, I recommend living in Medellin more
