Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY)

it is cheap to live in merida. a furnished apartment costs about the same as a room with a family. however, it is a really good experience to live with a family the first time.

My food was included with my rent to my family, but I do not really eat a lot. So I was paying for more than I could eat. I bought a cell phone in Merida, and I used it just for texting messages to my friends. Calling is expensive, but I bought credit so I never spent more than I thought I would. Housing is a little more expensive than my rent at home, but the security of living with a family is worth it. I barely spent any money going out at night in comparison to what I spend in the US. Travel is cheap. Getting around the town is easy. There is an extensive bus route and the fare is 40 cents. Cabs are slao cheap about 5 dollars no matter where you go. Overall Merida is cheaper.

When you enter the country and are issued you turist visa ask for the maximun 180 days.

I would recommend better administrative organization.

Myexperience at UADY has been a good one so far.
