HOME
We are a family owned and operated business.
Rio de Janeiro is divided into zones, with FGV located in the South Zone. Thus, it is possible to live in other zones and study at FGV without any major problems, but we recommend that you look for a house in that zone for more practicality on day.
FGV has a partnership with a student building in Flamengo called Uliving Rio , in which it is possible to rent different types of rooms at an affordable price, making many exchange students from Rio de Janeiro and regular students from different colleges choose to live there. However, it is also possible for the exchange student to look for a room or apartment elsewhere in the city.
Next are the neighborhoods in the South Zone, some relevant information for each and the position in the rental price ranking (1 being the most expensive and 8 being the cheapest). It is noteworthy that not all neighborhoods in the south zone were included. Therefore, these will be classified as “Neighborhoods adjacent to the neighborhoods that will be highlighted below, considering similarity of characteristics and similarity of location to each other.

EXCHANGE TESTIMONIALS
"I loved college, where I had the chance to meet some incredible people and, hopefully, some friends for the rest of my life. In addition, the quality of the course was higher than I expected and I had an incredible introduction to the world of finance. Even during the pandemic, I had the opportunity to get to know the river, which is an incredible city in a country that I hope to explore further in the future. "
