🇲🇽 Exchange in Mexico, Jan 2024
🏠 Housing
Lived at Casa Condesa by Connexion with 30 people — paid 550€ a month. "Perfect for meeting people — a lot of French though, so not the best if you wanna practice Spanish or English." Super safe area, right next to cafés, brunch spots, and cool parks like Chapultepec. "I didn’t stress at all because Casa Conexion is known to be safe — plus half my friends were living there too."
🚗 Getting to Campus
Uber to ITAM was only 20 min (no traffic). Easy life 🚗.
✈️ Travel Life
Went everywhere: Puerto Escondido, Puerto Vallarta, Puebla, Bacalar, Tulum... basically living the traveler dream 🌴.
🎉 Social Life
Crazy easy to meet people thanks to the big coliving house + Connexion events. Always something happening, always someone down to go out 🍻.
📚 Classes
Classes were manageable — nothing too crazy. Plenty of time to explore and party. Exactly how an exchange should be.

Heads up: you gotta pay rent in cash — but honestly, with all the fun you’re having, you won't care.

🏠 Housing
Stayed with Covive in a super beautiful house — 12 people, big chill spaces, really comfy. Paid around 700€ a month. "Life in a big coliving is amazing for making friends... but if you don’t vibe with the housemates, it can also suck." Location was perfect: Roma Norte/Sur, Polanco, Chapultepec — everything you need around the corner.
🚗 Getting to Campus
"Prepare for traffic hell." About 1 hour to uni every morning. Still 100% worth it to live in a cool hood instead of the middle of nowhere.
✈️ Travel Life
Jumped on cheap buses and flights — Puebla for 30€, Baja California, Yucatan... "Travel as much as you
can!"
🎉 Social Life
Partied at Kennedy (exchange student central) and lived on tacos de la calle 🌮. Every day is an adventure if you say yes.
📚 Classes
Didn't talk much about classes — too busy living. (That's the Studcasa spirit.)🦙 Other "Walk a lot, visit a lot, and get a yearly bike pass — it saves your life."

🏠 Housing
Moved into Casa Condesa by Connexion — paid around 600€ a month. "Take a room on the 3rd or 4th floor — way less noise." Insane vibe, amazing area: chill but full of good bars and clubs.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Uber everyday — "A bit expensive but worth it if you split with friends." Living close to the uni is overrated anyway.
✈️ Travel Life
Went EVERYWHERE: Peru, Bolivia, Guatemala, Belize, plus all around Mexico 🇲🇽. Exchange = ✈️.
🎉 Social Life
Hangout parties were the move — an exchange student group that throws weekly madness. Made friends, made memories, didn’t sleep much.
📚 Classes
Smart move: "Pick the online classes that give lots of credits — they’re easy and leave you free to travel." 🦙 Other Trust your instincts, enjoy every second. Exchange is not made for Netflix marathons.

Stayed with Covive — around 680–730€ a month depending on the peso. Safe bet: Condesa, Roma Norte, Polanco. "City is ALIVE if you speak Spanish. Super loud tho, traffic is insane."
🚗 Getting to Campus
Uber everywhere 🛻. 45 min to 1h in traffic every single morning. Welcome to Mexico City, baby.
✈️ Travel Life
Hopped to Tulum, Isla Mujeres, Cozumel, La Paz, Puebla, Guadalajara. Pack your bags and don't look back.
🎉 Social Life
Phonique was the go-to club. Pro tip from Léon: get a bike, NEVER take the metro, and save a fat budget for living your best life.
📚 Classes
Classes? Minimal drama. The real course is called Living Loud 101.
🦙 Other
Mexico isn’t cheap if you wanna live it full blast — plan ahead.

Moved into a Covive House with 11 others — 720€/month. "Super chill place, daily cleaning, even had filtered water at home." Only catch: "No noise after 23h or you get fined 50€ 😅."

Bus and Metrobus gang 🚍 — 45min mornings, up to 1h30 at night. Long rides but safe, and well-connected.

Hit all the top spots: Puebla, San Miguel de Allende, Yucatan, Cozumel... living the explorer dream 🌎.
🎉 Social Life
Nights out at Phonique, Looloo, Kennedy, Bar 27, Riviera Polanco. Big coliving houses = friends ready to party every night.
