🏠 Housing
Stayed at CentralX18 (aka LivinnX18). “Best part was we all lived in the same residence. Food truck for cheap eats, ping pong, terrace, big apartments. A bit far from Chapinero, but overall it was legendary.”
🚗 Getting to Campus
“We were in the center, 15 min Uber to campus. Cheap like 3€. Area’s a mix — La Candelaria is cute, Santa Fe nearby is sketchy, but no major issues if you're careful.”✈️ Travel Life “I did Salento, Medellín, Cali, Cartagena, Santa Marta, Amazonie, Guatemala, Chile, Perú, Bolivia. Bogotá is the hub of South America — just GO.”
🎉 Social Life
“Non-stop. Gringo Tuesday, Theatron, Video Club, Bambule. Our res had students from all over. Never lonely, never bored.”
📚 Classes
“Marketing, Spanish, HR... I picked ones without finals and grouped them early in the week to travel after. So worth it.”

“Take a crap phone out at night. Got mine stolen and had the SEUM. Also: don’t walk home at night. Ever. Even 5 mins. Trust me.”

R10 Casa del Sol – “Casa with 30 people. Reco ++. Insane vibe with the roommates, pure exchange energy. Definitely for the social ones.” Around €300/month, super good deal.
🚗 Getting to Campus
“Mostly took taxis. Candelaria is beautiful and chill during the day, but just stay smart — don't flash your phone or walk alone at night.”
✈️ Travel Life
“Did the full Colombia tour — Caribbean coast, Chocó for whales, Amazonie, Medellín, La Guajira. Use the Guide du Routard and go explore EVERYTHING.”
🎉 Social Life
“Nightclub: Kaputt, Videoclub. Restaurant : Madre, Jimenez, Crepes & Waffles. Took dance classes at SeisManos. We lived like kings.”
📚 Classes
“Try to stack everything on 3 days. Trust me. Talk to the schedule manager — she can help. More free days = more trips.”

Coliving49 in Chapinero — “No contracts, you pay cash. Owner’s a legend. 10+ houses in the area, all packed with students. You get added to a huge group chat (like 200 people). Events, barbecues, parties nonstop.” Paid ~€140/month.
🚗 Getting to Campus
“I was like 1h+ away from uni but that’s just Bogotá life. Still prefer Chapinero — best location overall, tons of buses, safe enough till 10/11PM.”
✈️ Travel Life
“Didn’t go far, but all the good spots are doable from Bogotá. If you like walking around cities and finding bars and good food — Chapinero is the move.”
🎉 Social Life
“It’s impossible NOT to meet people in these colivings. Had Latinos, Europeans, locals, wild mix. Never a boring day.”
📚 Classes
“Didn’t say much but he survived a full year — that says it all 😎.”

“Always Uber at night. Don’t walk, even if it’s 5 min. Oh and fake phone for parties = lifesaver.”

“Super clean, modern, and secure. You’ve got a gym, rooftop, crazy views, and shared 3-person apartments with good vibes. It’s perfect if you want your own space but still meet tons of people. You won’t find better facilities in Bogotá for students. I paid €400/month — totally worth it.”
🚗 Getting to Campus
“Like 1h30 in Uber. It’s far, not gonna lie. But you get used to it. Just plan ahead.”
✈️ Travel Life
“Colombia is unreal. Amazonie was insane. Did Medellín, Cartagena, deserts, beaches, even solo-tripped to Guatemala. You HAVE to travel.”
🎉 Social Life
“Theatron, Gringo Tuesday, Khaputt (maybe closed now?), tons of bars. We had befores at the casa, then partied till morning.”
📚 Classes
“Take the easy ones. Avoid finals. Build your week to leave every Thursday.”
🦙 Other
“Don’t be dumb. Cheap phone for nights. No yellow taxis. Ask locals what’s chill or not. Also — Colombians are the nicest people alive.”
