Hola a todos,
I have been awarded an educational and ambassadorial scholarship of US $25,000 by Rotary International to live, study, work abroad for 9 months-an academic year- and Montevideo is my first choice.
As far as housing goes, ideally I would like to rent an apartment, with or with out roommates, or find some sort of student housing. (It is my hope to study at Universidad de la Republica, by the way).
So with rent, food, basic necessities, tuition, ect...do you think $25,000 will cover my expenses for 9 months? i.e. is it possible to spend around $3000 a year on housing....I'm young (almost 25), experienced traveler, fluent in Spanish, well versed in Latin American cultures, and not high maintenance. I would like to live some place somewhat cute, quaint, peaceful, safe. In general pretty flexible.
If anyone has and hints, suggestions, networks, resources, links in this regard, I'd be very appreciate.
Muy amable. Mil gracias.
