Not your typical guidebook. Real tips from real students — straight from rooftop parties and 4 a.m. taco runs.
🏠 Housing (Preview)
You can live alone and miss half the fun — or go full exchange mode with 30 wild roomies.
➡️ One option is chaos and legends (Casa Condesa), the other is clean, calm coliving (Covive). Both = 100% real stories.

📚 Uni Life
Which uni fits your vibe? TEC, Ibero, ITAM, La Salle… we’ve decoded them all.

Student Reviews
ITESM
🇲🇽 Exchange in Mexico City
🏠 Housing
I lived in Casa Condesa with Connexion Mexico, 25 students in the house, mostly French. Genuinely one of the best exchange experiences I could’ve asked for. The vibe? Non-stop. Parties, shared dinners, rooftop sessions… it’s impossible not to make friends.
€550/month, and 100% worth it for the atmosphere.
🎉 Social Life
Rooftop Ritz, Looloo, and Sunday Sunday… you’ll never be short of plans.
📚 Classes
I had class 3–4 days/week. Mexicans are super chill, and classes at TEC are easy but still require a bit of work.
✈️ Travel Life
Puerto Escondido, Sayulita (Conexion trip in Feb), Yucatán, Baja California, Guatemala, Belize…
If you’re here for adventure, Mexico delivers.
🇲🇽 Exchange in Mexico City
🏠 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."
