Food in mexico is quite cheap, not to mention delicious aswell. If I were studyng at home I would be living at my home, therefore not paying any rent. I also found rent at the residences a little overpriced (especially for Monterrey), however, a lot of services were included.

After about 3 weeks to amonth start eating street food as well. It's incredibly chape and very tasty. also, look out for Michuacan stalls/cafes. They serve a large selection of freah fruit juces and great sladas for chape as well.

i spent less in accommodation and food than at home because i was living with my own family, who supplied me with everything.. the nightlife was more expensive because of the way the bars are set up in mexico, so i ended up spending a little more than usual

if you really take advantage of what the school has to offer i think you end up spending less money... computers, cafeterias (although its always cheaper to pack a lunch) bus rides etc...
