Personal comments
Joes Oyster Bar is always fun. Bora Bora, and Valentinos. I forgot what it was called but there is a great place downtown by Cafe Pacifico(The restuarant not the Brewery) it doesn't have a sign and its hidden but it's a great alternative bar. For food La Rioja spanish restuarant and freinds houses for true mexican food(Menudo Sundays).

Housing
Type of housing: Rented house
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Same House
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.

The University was excellent except for the Internatonal advisor Thomas Fedewa. He was an American who always lied and is creapy.
