🇨🇱 Exchange in Chile, 2023
🏠 Housing
Went through Santiago Exchange. Not necessarily the best casa ever, but super well located, safe, and convenient. 450€ rent for a place close to everything — not bad.
🚗 Getting to Campus
12 min walk. Can’t complain.
✈️ Travel Life
Big trips = Peru and Brazil. No fluff — just pack a bag and go.

Catch him at La Feria Club — his top pick. Says “envoyez-vous” aka go all in. 🕺
📚 Classes
Took “Adm de Personas” — no stress. Focused more on life than lectures 😏

I stayed at LivinnX Santiago — super modern place with great infrastructures (gym, pool, etc.). Always someone at the front desk if you’ve got a problem, and the vibe is super young and safe. Downsides? You're usually sharing the room (2 per), and it’s pretty pricey compared to casas in the area.
🚗 Getting to Campus
The uni is outside the city, so yeah, it was a good 45 min commute — but honestly, it didn’t bother me too much. Just be ready for a bit of a trek.
✈️ Travel Life
100% take advantage of weekends and breaks. I hit Pucon, Atacama/Bolivia, and Mendoza — amazing spots to explore. If you’re there, faut bouger.
🎉 Social Life
Santiago’s not the craziest city in itself, but it’s perfect to meet new people and travel. The vibe at LivinnX is young, so you’ll naturally find people to hang with.
📚 Classes
Didn’t mention much stress — seems like the academic part wasn’t the focus for me. Just stay on top and you’ll be fine.

The neighborhood I lived in (La Moneda) was great during the day, but kinda sketchy at night. It's also a bit far from fun areas like Bellavista.

I stayed at LivinnX Santiago for about 650€ a month. Honestly, the infrastructure is really good, it's well-organized, and the ambiance is great if you want a student vibe around you. It’s a bit pricey for what it is, but if you want something safe, fun, and easy, it’s a super solid choice. If you’re more into city life, you might wanna look for an apartment or a casa in the "good" neighborhoods though.
🚗 Getting to Campus
If you live near the Red Line (Metro Line 1), you're all set. It's the main line and takes you pretty much anywhere you wanna go, including the uni (Providencia area). Metro's cheap and way faster than Uber during busy hours.
✈️ Travel Life
South America is a whole playground if you’re ready to move. I traveled all over — Patagonia, Atacama Desert, Easter Island, plus side trips to Mendoza and Buenos Aires (Argentina), Cusco and Machu Picchu (Peru), Uyuni (Bolivia), the Amazon, and even Rio (Brazil). Absolute dream if you stack your days off right.
🎉 Social Life
Daytime chill spots: Bellavista (but careful at night) and Barrio Italia (cute cafés and shops). Nights? It’s all about Vinocracia (wine at 1€!!), W Hotel rooftop, and big nights out at Teatro Alicia and El Chocolate. Also, don't miss Miercoles Po — THE exchange student party every Wednesday.
📚 Classes
Hack the system: negotiate your classes to fit Tuesday/Wednesday. More free days = more travel, more chill. Classes are alright, nothing too crazy if you stay on top of it.
🦙 Other
Big tip: stay close to the Red Metro Line for max freedom. And honestly, if you don't wanna stress, LivinnX was super simple to book and safe — better than struggling last minute for a random casa.

Booked through Santiago Exchange and stayed in a house right across from the university in Providencia. Paid only 300€/month for a prime location in the safest, most chill part of town. Total win.
🚗 Getting to Campus
He literally rolled out of bed and into class. 2 min max.

Also stayed at LivinnX — described it as “not a real apartment, more like a place to sleep” but super convenient: pool, gym, study rooms, chill rooftop. Paid 420€/month. Safe bet if you want structure.
🚗 Getting to Campus
20 min with public transport. Easy access.
✈️ Travel Life
Did it all: Bolivia, Atacama, Peru, Buenos Aires, Rio — no excuses, just GO.
🎉 Social Life
Hung out around Lastarria and Cerro San Cristobal — classic hangout spots.
📚 Classes
Said the big difference is trust — casas = cash, LivinnX = contracts and auto-pay. If you want structure and peace of mind, LivinnX delivers.
