Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

I enjoyed living in a flat with other two ERASMUS students,and I had no problems at all in living outside the campus as the area was a safe one.

Everyone can speak English at ITAM, but ot is best to make them speak to you in Spanish, try not to hang out with to many friends from home countries! But i am really pleased in how m,uch i progressed, i probably learnt more fom independent travel after my course!
