Overall
I wish I had known...
How the city loked like !!! Hermosillo is awful !!! It is in the middle of the desert and the temperature is around 45 6 months of the year from march to september... Don not expect to find typical mexican villages here, Mexico is not here, Hermosillo is 400 kilometres from the USA. ID you want to discover Mexico, go more in the south : Guadalajara, Oaxaca....

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...

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 a university for commuters and it is not easy to get to know people if you already know english because, the easiest way to meet people is when you attend the English for foreigners program.
