UNIVERSIDAD DEL NOROESTE (UNO)

Do not expect to find typical Mexico here. Hermosillo has a lot of american influence. It is an awful city although the people here are really open minded, helpful, friendly... Come here with money to be able to travel to the US, and to the south of Mexico. But do not come here to study, the University levels are really bad...

Accomodation is pretty good, it's clean, although the city is really all dirty and awful.

If you there in the spring spend your spring break/semana santa holiday either in San Carlos (mexican party a huevoo!!) or Puerto Peñasco (where also a lot of gringos are). Furthermore, upon completing your semester, travel!!! Take the bus (use your student card which grants you a 50% discount) and go to Mazatlan, Tepic, Guadalajara, Morelia and get to know Mexico City which is a world on itself!! Sit on the zocolo and see life happening. Visit Estadio Azteco for a soccer match between America and well whoever. If you time and money see if you can go to the southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca. They are so different than the rest of the country and absolutely beautifull. All can be done perfectly by bus, no problems taking along your board or all that luggage. Best place: Mazunte close to Puerto Escondido. Stay at the isla! and chill out!!!

It is expensive to travel around the states but the location is pretty good.

It was kind of hard at the beginning, because at school you learn the tipical Spanish, but when you come to Mexico, ou see, that there are differences between their "castellano" and the Spanish.
