Teaser: Puebla Guide!
Not your average “study abroad” vibe. Real recs from students who lived it — tacos, chaos, and 10-person casas included.
🏠 Housing (Preview)
One house throws pool parties every week. Another is more chill — but still 5 min from campus.

Student Reviews
UDLAP
🇲🇽 Exchange in Puebla
🏠 Housing
I was in a house with 15 students, booked through Cholula Capital. It wasn’t just a room, it was the whole exchange vibe. They organized parties, trips, open bars… all semester long. Paid around €400/month, 5 min walk to UDLAP, and every single roommate was cool. The house energy? Wild but wholesome.
🚗 Getting to Campus
It was 5 minutes away on foot. Literally perfect.
✈️ Travel Life
I did Yucatán (Holbox, Tulum, Isla Mujeres, Bacalar, etc), Taxco, Atlixco, even horse riding with Cabalgatas Puebla. Tip: DO EVERYTHING with ADO buses and check out PHOCEA MEXICO for scuba in Playa del Carmen.
🎉 Social Life
Best semester of my life. Parties every week. Favorite clubs: LE NORMAL, JALA LA JARRAAAAA, BAR 27, BE, FERINA… And yes, EDC Mexico in CDMX = MUST.
📚 Classes
The campus is fire. Super American-style, lots of food spots, sports facilities, chill schedule (4 days a week). Classes aren’t too hard if you choose right — just check course levels from 1 (easy) to 4 (hard).

Avoid Puebla centro — Cholula is where it’s at. Weather? Warm and nice. Tacos? Insane. Safety? Just Uber at night and you're good.
🇲🇽 Exchange in Puebla
🏠 Housing
I stayed at Urbanite — not really a party place, but great if you wanna be alone. Super clean and fancy but lots of rules, and not everyone can come in 😬. Paid around 7500 MXN/month (~€400), but if you want the full vibe... maybe not the one.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Location’s solid for UDLAP and Cholula nightlife. Easy access with Uber.
✈️ Travel Life
You can go EVERYWHERE from Puebla — it’s only 2h from CDMX airport so flights are cheap. Whole Mexico = open bar 🍹.
🎉 Social Life
Less social where I lived, but if you go out in Cholula, you’ll find the crew. Clubs are all close.
📚 Classes
Didn’t say much, but spoiler: UDLAP is manageable if you don’t slack off.
🦙 Other
Tbh, booking from abroad was stressful, but it worked out. Pro tip: go with trusted names like Charro or Si Señor next time.
