Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
it is cheap to live in merida. a furnished apartment costs about the same as a room with a family. however, it is a really good experience to live with a family the first time.

Personal comments
My experiance woth my family was very good. The cost is the only thing that is a little unreasonable. It is also difficult to adapt to having to answer to someoene after living alone for 5 years, but I have learned more from them than anyone else. For this, I would say that a family is a good option.

Why?
The host family is good at first, but I ended up moving out of two host families' houses, and switching to an apartment, as Mexican men (including my host fathers and host brothers) tend to have a certain idea of American and European women. On the other hand, other students had great host family experiences. I'd say to start out with a host family to get settled, but later move to an apartment once you have become more adept and independent at living in Merida.

Personal comments
The housing department at the UADY was great, when I told them i wanted to move to another host family, and later to another apartment, they asked no questions at all and gave me no trouble. I had a new host family the next day. The second time I moved they also had no problem. They are very helpful and open.

Personal comments
It was a very safe way to be initiated into Mexican culture. It was convenient to go straight to live with a family and not have to find a place of my own. Meals were cooked for me , which was a treat and I got the chance to do yoga as my host was a yoga teacher.
