Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
As I have already lived in a dorm on campus with other students together in one apartment, it would be nice to experience family life as well.

Personal comments
Most of the dorms are on campus; security staff takes care of unauthorized visitors. The dorms are divided into apartment in which guest students live togehter with home students. I liked that very much, therefore I had a lot of contact to Mexicans and their culture. Of course, it was very good to improve my Spanish skills. In addition there are several occasions organized such as Welcome Party, Soccer championship, Dinner Parties, etc. All in all it is very easy to built up personal contact to other students as well to staff members.

Personal recommendation
I loved it there, wish I could have stayed longer! The uni is very well organized, the international office will always help you if you face any problems.
Join one of the many clubs on campus, get in contact with new people and enjoy your time!

During my experience abroad, I ...
(1) Never – (4) A lot
Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
Travel as much as you can. There are far to many things to see but the travel guide from Lonely Planet is very helpful for individual trips.
In addition there is a travy agency on campus and during the semester several trips can be book through the uni. So you don´t have to take care of hotel reservations, tour guide, etc..

I wish I would have known from my university that they were the ones teaching. I probably would have just enrolled in UDLA and gone on my own.

Personal spending habits
The cost of living in Mexico is obviously much lower than in the UK, so food, accomodation and nightlife were significantly cheaper. I spent very little on the telephone as I stayed in contact with people at home by free email at the university. My major expense was travel, as I went away most weekends and travelled for a few months after my classes had finished. Overall, I think I probably spent more or less the same as I would in a semester at Nottingham.

Accessibility of student needs

Personal comments
Don't be afraid to spend some time looking for accommodation, as the money you spend on a cheap hotel for a few weeks can often be saved back just on your first month's rent if you take your time to find somewhere that's good value. Always take your student card with you when you travel, as you can sometimes get discounts on long journeys.

Overall
Todas las carreras de mi área en este caso ciencias sociales, la Universidad de las Américas Puebla, es la mejor universidad en ese rubro pero definitivamente tiene sus contras, por ejemplo, a nivel administrativo y de apoyo la universidad prácticamente te ofrece lo mejor pero siempre lo voltea, prácticamente a lo largo voltea la cara y te hace pasar por muchas inseguridades, las clases, como todo son buenas.

Pros
Las clases prácticas de mercadotecnia son excelentes
Cons
Hay que mejorar las clases y profesores de comunicación ya que dan mucho que desar
