“It is no easy to live in Mexico-City, a lot of contermination y too much people-. If you want to study here you need 900 US-dollars for one month, trips not included. It is recomendable to live in a zone with private secuurity because there are a lot of robberies here( two weeks ago they stole my car). Don´t forget that Mexico-City is dangerous!” Read Review

Personal recommendation:
It is importante to know that here exists a different way of teaching and learning, more like in school. The people here at the campus are rich and some of them do not see the problems that occurre outside of the campus. It is not possible to compare studying here with getting to know a lot of the mexican culture.
