The thing is that, at that time, I was living with my parents, so I didn't have much expenses. But, of course Mexico is cheaper than Canada. If you find your own place to stay, shop at the good places and market, it is cheaper than most places: but you can easily go out every night and spend all the money you had in a month if you're not careful. Travel, Nightlife: was more expensive than at home. Overall: was the same price as at home. Food, Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
No. If you are on exchange, you're probably going to pay the school fees at your home university. Transportation is expensive. Get your visa arranged long time before leaving, and don't sign any contract on an apartment nor leave a deposit. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Take the bus system at all costs, if possible. You'll save a ton if you are able to plan your time ahead so you are able to take advantage of the bussing. Cabs tend to cost too much and should be used as a secondary resource to transportation. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Be prepared for the services costs in addition to your rent. Those may well be about 20-25% of your rent! Don't eat at campus, it's really expensive and you can get way more authentic/tasty food nearby! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
