Personal spending habits
Because in here they seem to eat less than we do in Mexico. I had to buy things in small amounts and that is more expensive. Telephone, here is way more expensive for local calls. Accomodation, I live with my parents, so I don't have to pay anything. Nightlife, here it is much cheaper; drinks are not expensive at all. Travel, it cost a lot to travel. Plus I don't on my own back home. Overall, here are lots of things like the bycicle, books are really expensive also.

Don't bring too many clothes.

Personal comments
Giving a high percentaje for the final examination is not good. Better to have more things to do and different ways to grade them.
