Food expenses were high mainly due to constant dining outside. Nightlife is quite expensive, especially for men who traditionally pay for everything. Telephone-costs in Mexico are pretty high related to other countries.

Personal comments
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!
