Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores - Guadalajara

My overall language and communication experience had been great because of my ability to get along, talk with, and interact with people at all levels. In return the local nationals would teach me many slang words and sayings and so on. The only disappointment that I came across was the commonality and at times the constant usage of English. I went to school with many of the elite (financially and socially) of Mexico. Many of those students are Fluent in English and usually French or another language. Therefore they were eager to learn English and American slang from me as I was from them. Also many things were in English. An Example: the movies at the cinemas. In general I had no problems with both the language and communication in my everyday life in Mexico.

Enjoy your stay!

I recommend my experiences to all.

Travel every weekend! The bus system in mexico is cheap and convenient. Plan to meet at the bus station every friday with an open mind and "where to next" attitude and you will fully experience everything Mexico has to offer.

Best night club is BOSSE on Fridays (real chic), Walstreet on Tuesdays, La Marche is always good for free drinks. Travelling is the best...every weekend. Manzanillo is 4 hrs, Puerto Vallarta only 5hrs on bus. Everything is close to Guadalajara. The only disappointing this is that I HAVE NO MEXICAN FRIENDS. The school is kinda snotty, guys everywhere only want to sleep with you, and mexican girls seem kind of competitive with you. I am quite diappointed I don't have any good friends that are native, but I have the best exchange friends.
