HOUSING
by allison, ESC Troyes, Troyes, France
Marketing and Sales Management, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? For the first time in the country this is better to live with a family as it is able to give you some information regarding culture and support in critical moments.
My housing was perfect as I was leaving in a family house but separatly with others foreigners.So it maintained my independence but I could ask for help sometimes. That was a good balance.
If I go back I would choose to live in a apartment but with roomates.
Personal comments:
The conditions of payment are constraining as you have to pay cash on the first days or before arriving. This type of housing requiere a lot of forms and other documents.That is a bad to pass and then you are free. Caution there is a contract so you can't leave the housing program when you want to!

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? II would choose a house again because it is the cheapest option of accomodation in Mexico and I prefer to live independently than with the family or at the school campus.
Personal comments:
The campus at school had extremely stickt rules that the european students are not used to and it was quite expensive. However, it had a lot of facilities and was safe because of the 24h security. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Why? For freedom's sake and to meet possible international roomies
Personal comments:
Housing in general is weel organized in TEC. I heard comments from negative to positive from friends who lived in host families. Campus accomodations can vary too, depending on whether you're lucky enough to get a room from the most modern building. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? My second semester there, I rented an apartment near the campus.
Personal comments:
They really treated me very well but the second semester I preferred to have more independence and to share the apartment with the people i had met the first semester. That´s why I changed my residence. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

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 assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because you have your own space, and can live independently as I am used to for several years by now. Also, you can still invite any students and local friends so it does not mean you are not mingling in as much as one would think you would living in a host family. It all depends on your own personality and effort to integrate.
Personal comments:
I enjoyed living in my house a lot! I had 3 room mates in the first half year, and three new ones came in the second half year. Different people, different experiences, but a great time overall!!! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

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

Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Although the family experience was indeed helpful in my language development, I think I'm at the point now where I could survive on my own without the aid of native inhabitants.
Personal comments:
I felt the accomodations were more than good. I learned a great deal about the culture and language of Mexico as well as how to adapt to the lifestyle there. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Why? I went to the Mazatlan campus and I worked for a magazine downtown so the Golden Zone house I rented was close to the bus for both school and work.

Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
