Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey review by Ana Rita
Review by Ana Rita, Instituto Superior de Ciências do Trabalho e Empresa, Lisbon, Portugal

HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because I had more independence. In Mexico the student's residences are very good but there are many rules, like hours, visits, authorisation to go out, etc.
Personal comments:
At the university there are a department just dedicated to students housing. If you want you can stay at the residence and if not, they have many options for you (family, renting apartments, etc). Or you can just find a house by your self, like I've done. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

ACADEMIC
5.0 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
The courses are really good, but very demanding as well. I've taken courses in English and in Spanish. The ones in english are more demanding. To whom that doesn't speak good spanish, I recomend to take the courses in english
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The university has many activities to the international students, don't waste it This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
Language difficulties
Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
I'had already known spanish before I go Mexico, but of course I've improved it, especially because I've lived with mexican, spanish, and other european people. That was one of the most important things that I've learned in Mexico, the culture and communication between different countries.

EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Personal savings Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience Personal spending habits:
The categories that I spent more than at home is just because at home I live with my parents, I don't travel so much in my native country and the phone because of the international calls to Portugal. But in general, the life in Mexico is much cheaper than in Lisbon Travel, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food, Nightlife: was less expensive than at home.

The conditions and the education are simply the best. The only thing that I have to say is the high amount of work that is demanded to the students that take many courses FINAL COMMENTS
This experience was fantastic, the university, the people, the country, I really loved it. I had also the opportunity to make an intership through the University in a consulting company. I've learned a lot and it was very helpful to the end of my career. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
