Living in Valparaíso as an exchange student

Valparaíso is one of the most fascinating cities in Latin America for university exchange students. An iconic port city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it attracts hundreds of students every semester from France, Spain, Belgium and across Europe, drawn by its unique hillside architecture, vibrant art scene and rich academic offerings. Partnering with numerous European exchange programs and Erasmus, Valparaíso is home to internationally recognized institutions: PUCV (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso), UTFSM (Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María) and UV (Universidad de Valparaíso). The city is also connected in under 15 minutes by the Merval train to Viña del Mar, and about 1.5 hours from Santiago. The neighborhoods of Cerro Alegre, Cerro Concepción and the Plan de Valparaíso concentrate the majority of housing for exchange students. Whether you arrive for a semester (5 months) or a full academic year (10 months), Valparaíso offers an incomparable living experience blending culture, street art and student nightlife, all at prices well below major European capitals.
