Personal social experience
Personal comments
The school is far away from the Central, and not very convenient for student that have no cars. But inside the University there are many activities organized by school and student organization. Sport facilities are adequate, computer room and game rooms are available. I don't have much night life, only sometime travel with some friend during spring break to Vegas and Arizona, during weekend, sometimes travel to El Paso (Texas) and went to shopping malls. The disco in Mexico was really different from that in Texas and Las Cruses, don't miss it.

Academic
Course recommendations
Lots of course choices, including academic, music, sports, practical and theoretical. I like the course and teachers very much. The financial course i like most because they are very practical, and use sepecial computer software and internet to look for information and prepare equity research reports. Teachers are nice and helpful. Students are nice too!

Needing to deal with the english language daily, both in social and academic life, I picked up the language relatively fast. At the moment I am still attending courses in the Englisg language in my home country, which helps me stay on top of it every day.

Personal comments
I share the room with another roomate, the room is clean, but don't have much facilities. It is on campus, so very convenient for me to go to school. The environment is nice, but the room is not big, just sufficient.

The on campus housing was of good quality, however, price wise it was better to look around yourself and find something off campus.
