Maybe more about the culture, but itis hard to learn the little things..But in general mexicans are enjoyable and respect that you are from a different culture and therefore don't understand everything..They also try to moderate a little their language (skip slang) for you to understand In my opinion:
Most people loved it.

Personal recommendation:
Be active!! It is a little marked by mexican bureaucracy, but not at all that much compared to public universities in Mexico.. FINAL COMMENTS
Be careful. Mexico City is a big city, and one has to take care..For example, one should not get a taxi on the street (for robberies), rather call a taxi. Also be careful where you withdraw money. The university was very helpful informing us about what to do regarding security. We did never have any bad experiences, but we tried at least to be careful..And I felt safe there!

Personal recommendation:
The courses are very timeconsuming (assistence obligatory for every course twice a week), so plan from the start where you want to go when! FINAL COMMENTS
Mexiko has a worse reputation than it deserves. Of course its more dangerous than other countries but as always when you watch out and when you are not stupid nothing will happen to you. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Make sure to take courses you will enjoy. The workload is quite high, so if you don't like the course it could be difficult. FINAL COMMENTS
Travel as much as you can. Mexico is such a beautiful country, and there are so many things to see. If you have a chance also try and spend a weekend somewhere far away from tourism with a family, with locals. As a female be prepared that you will be treated differently than you may be used to and that you will have to adapt to the local culture (eg fashion). Mexicans are definetly machos.

That Mexicans are not that fancy dressed how it was often written in books- I had the wrong things to wear with me. In my opinion:

Personal recommendation:
The International Relations course with Duncan Wood. And if you have a problem you just have to tell the exchange office and they will try to help you the best they can FINAL COMMENTS
Mexicans don't dress that fancy as it is written in most books (jeans are ok). To travel around by bus is pretty cheap and has a very good standard. Mexico City is not really nice and there is not so much to see, but the country itself is really amazing- try to travel and see as much as you can. Teachers of exchange students usually understand it if you are not there because you travel to another part to see Mexico. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Go and be surprised, this univeristy is private and therefore only the top 20% of wealthy mexicans can afford it, but enjoy the experience and rememeber the other 80% of the country are very poor. Try and get involved in voluntary work while you are there, just go and do it - you'll love it! FINAL COMMENTS
Mexico City is like any big city, take care and listen to the locals - just use your common sense. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
