Personal comments
Always take your mexican student ID when traveling, as in a lot of tourist sights you will get free entrance. Also, during official summer and winter holidays, students get a 50% discount on buses around country.

Personal comments
As I said, some courses were in english, but it is very useful to know spanish, because many good courses are in spanish, as well as it is much easier to communiate with other people..I was kind of weak in spanish in the beginning, but the teachers and your fellow students respected it, and helped the foreign students along the way..And we improved a lot, also from a lot of social interaction with mexicans

Personal comments
even though maybe overpriced for mexico, still cheaper than europe, and for someone who is new to town it is hard to find something independently. All housing offerd by the host university is located very close to the university, which is very important for mexico city.
