Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? although my family were great, an apartment with other students would probabley have been more fun and more independant.
Personal comments:
a host family is a good way of integrating into Mexican life, practicing your Spanish and learning about the culture.
