Academic
Course recommendations
I'd recommend that they change the focus of their teaching. Instead of lecturing endelessly on boring subjects, make it more interactive and appealing to the student. Have resources and textbooks available for those students that cannot keep up with the material during class or students that are used to a more independent style learning.

Final comments
Make sure you leave at least 55 pesos on you when departing the country as you are required to pay airport taxes and you will not be able to leave if you do not do so. Also, make sure to have enough money to pay for any overweight charges for your luggage. Most importantly, DO NOT LOSE YOUR PASSPORT!!!

Housing
Type of housing: International Student Residence
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I'd rather live in an apartment next time rather than a student residence complex because I can get better accomodations for the price we were paying there, and not have to deal with incompetent staff.

Personal comments
I was dissapointed with the staff at the student residence where I was staying. Their response time to any of our requests was preposterous.
