🇲🇽 Exchange in Mexico, Spring 2025
🏠 Housing
I lived in a house with 5 other French students — amazing vibes. But honestly, I’d recommend Torres Tec for the real exchange experience. Pool, packed with international students, and super social. We paid around €480/month. Our house was 20 mins walk from campus, which was fine, but the residence is even closer.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Walking worked for us, but for parties and late nights, always Uber. It’s Mexico — don’t mess around at night.
✈️ Travel Life
Tulum and Bacalar were insane. Some people also went to Costa Rica and Guatemala. Flights are cheap if you plan a bit.
🎉 Social Life
Wild. San Pedro = party zone. Strana and Cosmo were my favs. Mercado Revolution on Wednesdays was THE weekly spot. Student life is super active, especially in the residences. Barbecues, house parties — always something happening.
📚 Classes
Campus feels like a mini-USA. 3 Starbucks, animals walking around. Classes were not super hard but you need to work a bit. Try to group them in one block to free up time.

Budget like you’re in France. Weather gets HOT from March — like 40°C.

I stayed at El Castillo (manage by Bloom Agency), this huge house with two terraces and 5 other students. Two floors, 3 bathrooms, and a BBQ. 10 mins from UDEM, 5 mins from a supermarket. Safe and quiet neighborhood, mostly students around. Between €300–€350/month. Heads up though — hot water isn’t always reliable 😅
🚗 Getting to Campus
10 min walk. Easy. For the center or nights out, Uber all the way. Cheap and safe.
✈️ Travel Life
I traveled all over Mexico. Puerto Escondido was my favorite. And if you’re there for Día de los Muertos — go to Michoacán or Oaxaca. Unreal experience.
🎉 Social Life
Toto was the go-to club. El Mercado on Wednesdays = open air, DJ sets, beer pong, food trucks. The exchange community is super tight.
📚 Classes
Consumer Behavior in Spanish = amazing vibe with local students. Marketing = chill. International Business = more serious, group projects and exams.
🦙 Other
Talk to locals — it makes the experience way more authentic.

🇲🇽 Exchange in Mexico, Spring 2025
🏠 Housing
Lived just next to the TEC — super convenient. Shared the house with 5 other students and paid around €450/month. Nothing fancy, but the location made life way easier.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Literally a few minutes by foot. No stress, no Ubers, just vibes.
✈️ Travel Life
Went full tourist mode: Miami, plus a ton of cool spots all around Mexico. Travel is super doable (and cheap if you plan it right).
🎉 Social Life
San Pedro is the place to party. Strana = favorite club. Wild nights guaranteed.
📚 Classes
Took Doing Business in Mexico — fully online, super chill. Honestly not too hard if you keep up.

Good luck and enjoy it, you’re gonna love Monterrey.

Stayed in an Airbnb in San Pedro, super safe and close to all the clubs. Needed Uber for campus tho. Paid €450/month. No scam, good experience overall.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Always Uber. Campus wasn’t walkable but Uber rides were cheap and fast.
✈️ Travel Life
Took a direct flight to Cancun for just €100 round trip. Totally worth it.
🎉 Social Life
Cosmo was my fav club. There was a taco place right in front of it — life saver. Met tons of people, went out all the time.
📚 Classes
Try to stack your classes on the same days so you can travel. Not too many options, but it’s manageable.

Monterrey itself? Meh. We were always hanging in San Pedro anyway.

🏠 Housing
Booked through Michell Elizondo, one of the Blum house managers. Super close to uni and cheap — I paid €400/month. Not super fancy, but cozy enough, and Michell was always kind and super helpful. Felt more like a family vibe than a rental.
🚗 Getting to Campus
I was basically next door — walked to class every day. No stress.
✈️ Travel Life
Went to Mexico City and explored the surroundings a bit. Buses and flights are both chill if you plan ahead.
🎉 Social Life
Loved Barrio Antiguo — that old-school downtown with cafés, second-hand shops, and cool vibes. Also checked out Cerro de la Silla and caught a game at the Tigres stadium. Weekends were never boring.
📚 Classes
Didn’t mention much but had no issues. Just focus enough to pass and enjoy the rest.
🦙 Other
Michell’s houses are all over Monterrey, and she’s one of the most trusted names in the game. If you don’t wanna deal with scammy landlords — go Blum.
