My three college friends and I are thinking about doing some extra graduate work in South America. The area that we are interested in is so rich in culture and tradition, but also so modern and cosmopolitan. With all the universities in the area, we feel as though we will be intellectually stimulated. It seems as if renting medellin apartments may be a better deal for us than trying to stay in hotels. The apartments can be leased completely furnished, and we can save money by doing our own cooking . I think we’ll do a lot of our entertaining in our own place, as well. If we all go in together, we can get a pretty luxurious place in this beautiful city.
