Food is generally very cheap in Mexico. The telephone is VERY expensive- a cell phone call is about 40 US cents a minute, but everyone just uses text messaging, which is about 7 US cents per message. My host families cost about 450 USD per month, food included. My apartment was about 150 USD a month plus electricity (about 20 USD per month). In general things are cheaper than at home.

The UADY doesnt use text books, rather students make copies of readings they are supposed to read and buy them little by little as needed. There are no second-hand furniture stores that I ever saw, but there is always a foreign student moving or going home who is giving away their things- i wound up with a whole kitchen set that way! There are also lots of cheap furniture stores. There are internet cafes everywhere, ATMs are common (in the cities!!!), Banks close at 4pm, and lots of businesses close from 2-4pm every day. Private hospitals are about 20 USD a visit, and though they look dark and scary, the UADY is a very good medical school, so the doctors ARE well-trained!

My food was included with my rent to my family, but I do not really eat a lot. So I was paying for more than I could eat. I bought a cell phone in Merida, and I used it just for texting messages to my friends. Calling is expensive, but I bought credit so I never spent more than I thought I would. Housing is a little more expensive than my rent at home, but the security of living with a family is worth it. I barely spent any money going out at night in comparison to what I spend in the US. Travel is cheap. Getting around the town is easy. There is an extensive bus route and the fare is 40 cents. Cabs are slao cheap about 5 dollars no matter where you go. Overall Merida is cheaper.

It is cheaper tos tay with a family and pay for everything inclusivelly rather than go it alone in a house share. However it is more fun to be with other students.My only real over expenditure was buying trinkets and hammocks, which you cannot use at home. If you keep that under control you will find it hard to overspend in Mexico.
