Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY)

To the female students- be prepared; Mexican women tend to be anything but friendly, after 10 months in Merida, i did not have a single female friend from here. Merida is known throughout Mexico for being relatively closed-minded in its ways; if you want to have local friends, I suggest you go to the central or northern part of the country. The main advantage of Merida is the ability to travel to lots of different places- ruins, mountains, beaches, resorts, Central America, the Caribbean, etc...

I reccomend the UADY; it has its problems but all-in-all Merida is a fun place to live for a semester or year.

When you enter the country and are issued you turist visa ask for the maximun 180 days.

I would recommend better administrative organization.

A bit more about the courses that I could do.

They are very friendly and it is a great place to study if you get involved. THey are quite relaxed though and don't expect them to chase you up about assignments/projects it is up to you to discipline yourself.

Nothing, I was sufficiently informed.

The UADY is a unique environment that promotes individualistic student empowerment and freedom.
