Si j'avais su

Really take advantage of the first week of classes when you can change your course options without having to pay for the courses you drop (called "altas y bajas"). I wish I had "shopped around" more, as a couple of my classes were not at all interesting or challenging and once the first week had passed I was stuck with them for a whole semester (which is much longer than a uni term in the UK).

Recommandation personnelle

In a way the downside to UDLA is how international it is. The Mexican students are friendly, but many can't really be bothered to make friends with the foreign students in their classes (which you can't blame them for given that most foreign students only stay one semester). This is why I would recommend living in the university halls. I spent my whole time at UDLA with Mexicans because from the start I made a massive effort to get to know my roommates and their friends.

There's lots of help available to international students; I think UDLA is a good university to choose if you have never been abroad for an extended period before. However, it is claustrophobic - with its amazing grounds and facilities UDLA doesn't give you a real idea of what Mexico, or even Puebla, is like. I would recommend doing some travelling at weekends and trying to make as many Mexican friends as possible, if you want to get the most out of your time in this fantastic country.

Commentaire personnel

I was already pretty fluent in Spanish before I started studying. However, I think my written Spanish improved during my time at UDLA. I didn't take any language courses but I knew international students who did and overall they seemed to be impressed by the quality of tuition.
