Would you recommend it?
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
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
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.
🎓 Uni life at Universidad del Rosario
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
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.
Do you have some tips?
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.
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
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.
🌆 Bogota vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Bogota?
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.
