Living in Concepción as an exchange student
Concepción is Chile's second-largest metropolitan area and its true university capital: a city built around student life, with a young population, a famous rock music scene and a nightlife district that runs on the academic calendar. The Universidad de Concepción (UdeC), founded in 1919, hosts hundreds of international students each year through its international relations office, and its open park-like campus, with the iconic Campanil tower, blends directly into the Barrio Universitario. Exchange students also come to Universidad del Desarrollo (UDD), whose Concepción campus offers exchange semesters with courses in Spanish and English, as well as Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción (UCSC), Universidad del Bío-Bío (UBB) and Universidad San Sebastián (USS). Semesters follow the Chilean calendar, March to July and August to December, matching Flatmaters' 5 or 10 month furnished rentals. The Pacific beaches of the Biobío coast and the city's parks are minutes away, and Santiago is about an hour's flight or a comfortable night bus.
