视情况而定, I either walk or take one of the three main public transportations in Viña Del Mar to school.
首先是MICRO(公共汽车)
Buses here are convenient once you know the routes. Each bus has names of cities and roads that they are going to. They only cost 400- 600 智利an pesos ( 60-80 cents).
Colectivos is also very common. They look like regular taxis but have signs with numbers at the top with the places they are going to. It is very similar to the bus system. Usually, you look at the numbers, which tell you the direction colectivo is heading in. They are similar prices as the buses and are part of the common transportation method in Vina Del Mar.
The Metro is relatively new to Viña德尔玛 and contains one of the most stunning views of the ocean. You need a metro card to ride it and tickets are fairly cheap.

Because I live up on the hill, I also have an option of taking an elevator-train called funicular. (It's super fun and you get to enjoy a stunning view of the city during the ride.)

All of my classes here in Viña Del Mar have been at the international school. It is a former house of one of the members from a legendary 智利an band called Los Jaives (equivalent to Beatles in 智利). It's now solely for us international students and provides a nice break from 智利.

Classes are designed small so that you can always have meaningful discussions with your professors and other students. You are also in a class with students from all over the world, 比如德国, 奥地利, 瑞典, 韩国, 哥伦比亚, 秘鲁, 墨西哥, 等. We all have different perspectives; every class discussion provides enriching experiences from sharing and seeing other cultures' perspectives. You learn something completely new. Professors here are very attentive to your needs and extremely helpful in guiding you to understanding the differences you experience as a foreigner in 智利. If your Spanish skills are good enough, you are able to take classes with the local students. However, it is easy to meet locals because 智利ans are extremely friendly.
Why do I love studying abroad? Not only do I get to experience 智利a, but I also get to experience the world from fellow international students. This experience allowed me to see how unique our world is.
