Chapalita Oriente

https://www.conexionmexico.com.mx/?srsltid=AfmBOoqjVWOmQ7-_aTFsy8QolbNMvFsgy8E0Rh61UxfPD33yBCKeUTux

I recommend a lot this type of housing to discover and meet people from around the world. Being a lot in the house is not a proplem for this type of experience. If you are here to work and have a quite house during all the semester.... I don't recommend a lot. Keep in mind that is randomly selected by many foreigners, so you can have a house with only frensh roommates or spanish roommates which can be mad depending if you want to meet people from another countries. In my case, I was with many french people which bring me a lot in term of a group atmosphere and simplified travel organisation for hollidays (roadtrip for exemple). Maybe, my exchange would be different if I had been with other people from different nationalities. My advice : make research on that, but there no wrong choice I think. In term of accomodations, facilities and place where I lived, Chapalita Oriente is really chill and safe for exchange people (foreigners) and I was pretty surprised about security feeling in the neighboorhood.

Bar Americas : check the instagram account, there is some techno events in Guadalajara (Nico Moreno), Hilo (previously Strana), Panic room, Sauna, Kanna...

Be carreful I talked about courses at ITESM Guadalajara. Anticorruption in government, firms and society is a really interesting course wich really fit with an exchange experience in Mexico. Corruption is a phenomenon embedded in all the society and interesting to understand what is it and why it is so present. Courses not too demanding in terms of workload and schedule : Mexican culture and idendity Asynchronous business courses : Intercultural Leadership, Management and Communication Megatrends for the Future

Registration easy and tutors are really helpfull. The campus is really cool with a lot of sport facilities : football field, soccer fields, volley-ball fields (beach and indoor), swimming-pool, gym etc

Not planned in 10 minutes but i really recommend to go to Puerto Escondido : beach, surf, chill atmosphere. You can rent a scooter to move wich bring incredible vibes to your tripe for sure. Club are insane with the same freedom feeling inside. Go to the OLA restaurant : not costly and really good for local specialities.

Transport : by uber it's easier in the most of small travels but buses function really good as well, I really advise you to dowload movit to see all buses line that move into Guadalajara. Cost of living : 3/4 of France cost of living theorytically but for example do your shopping is the same as in France whereas eat out evening fit with the theory. Safety : As I said at the beggining, I didn't feel any insecurity if you don't provoke anything weather : I was there for the rainy season and then the milder season, and the temperature was perfect after a month of slightly annoying showers, but honestly, nothing too bad. The temperature from September to December is simply incredible: just the right amount of coolness in the evenings, and if you want warm beach weather, you have plenty of options: Sayulita, Puerto Escondido, Puerto Vallarta, the beaches of the Yucatan (Carmen, Cancun...) and many more... Perhaps the only downside to Guadalajara: you can see everything very quickly, unlike Mexico City, and you sometimes feel a bit confined (it's a dense and populated city). Give yourself the opportunity to travel.

Providencia

Conexion

Yes, it allows you to meet lots of people and makes many things much simpler

Mexicans are very welcoming, they often offer to show you around or go out, and the city of Guada is great for partying

Cultura y protocolo, Comunicacíon

Nous avons peu de cours par rapport aux autres écoles et les cours sont beaucoup plus simple qu’en France. Le campus est grand mais on y passe finalement peu de temps ( il y a une salle de sport, une piscine…)

Baja california , Puerto escondido

Tlaquepaque, zapopan, Centro historico…

Organisme

I would choose the same place because it is close to all destinations by car, like Sayulita, and a few hours from the Yucatan, etc.

Best party to Sauna, Normal, Hilo, panic room

I recommend my courses, namely economics, marketing, and human resources.

The school is really cool, the campus is very big, you just need to ask for a map when you arrive.

the best trip is Sayulita

The city is cool but it's a bit dangerous in some places; the best neighborhoods are America and Providencia.

Really pleasant to have a big house with a pool. It is better than a tiny loft. Really great mood with the others Which allowed to s’orne many great moments with roomies and sharing activities.

Super parties in the houses, and great bars in Chapultepec. Good night clubs like Hilo and Normal

Business classes are interesting and teachers are really great. But the administration is disappointed me

The campus is incredible and you have all the facilities you can imagine

Beautiful country, a lot of amazing trips like Baja California Sur, Yucatan, Puerto Escondido, Colima, Mexico City. Guadalajara is really well located to travel.

Transports are poor-developed and it is really costly to order Uber. I recommend to buy or rent a moto ! Otherwise life is really smooth.

The organization is really nice, it offers lots of events for students, it's very lively and allows you to make the most of the exchange.

There are many good places, bars in Chapultepec and the best nightclubs in Zapopan

I really like the Marketing module and a the course called « Negotiation across cultures »

The campus is truly incredible, the facilities are superb (gym, soccer field, paddle tennis, tennis, American football, swimming pool, etc.). Registering for courses is quite simple via the TEC platform, and yes, I would definitely choose this university.

You have to go to Sayulita, Tapalpa and Tequila !

Just be careful the evening in some neighbourhood but it’s fine with you are with a group of friends. Many taco trucks are open all night, and there are always plenty of restaurants.

Enjoy your exchange, it’s an exceptional experience !!

Zapopan Centro

Conexion

Yes but it’s quite expensive, but it allons you to meet a lot of people.

Lot of clubs, bars etc… because of all the colleges in the area. Also with Conexion there is a lot of social life.

All the classes are interesting, I choose a lot of finance classes. The teachers are very nice.

The campus is really cool, and the staff also ! But in my opinion the students are not very welcoming.

I traveled a lot, Guadalajara has a big airport but it’s more expensive than Mexico City.

The weather is lovely and there is a lot of things to do, there is a metro but I never took the bus. The Uber are not expensive.

I had a great flatshare with 13 other people. Even though we were about 45 minutes to an hour from TEC, the area was modern and safe, which was definitely better than being closer to campus where there isn’t much around. The house didn’t exactly match the standards I was used to in France, but the agency renting it was reliable and always quick to respond when issues came up.

The housing agency also organizes plenty of events, parties, and trips, so there’s always something going on and it’s a great way to meet people and make the most of the experience.

Overall, my classes went really well, and I have to say that Mexicans are incredibly welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The campus is amazing, with plenty of restaurants, a Starbucks, and all the facilities you could need: gym, sports classes, football and tennis courts, a library, and even an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

There were great travel opportunities too I was able to explore the country during weekends and the three weeks of vacation we had, which allowed me to discover so many new places.

City life in Guadalajara was nice thanks to my amazing flatmates with whom I did a lot of things, but the city itself isn’t very touristy, so it’s not the most exciting to visit it’s better to travel around.

My casa was nice because it was new and modern, but that's not the case for all Conexion casas. The organization operates like a BDE and organizes evenings for exchange students all year round. However, there are almost only French people and Conexion is really annoying about rent, the deposit, things missing from the house, etc. But I recommande it

All the partys are nice

All are the same

The campus is like an american campus : so big with all the comoditues and restaurant like starbuck, big sport team and infrastructure,…

All the plane are cheap if you take ut in advance you can go everywhere in Mexico. The bus companies are perfect, safe and so comfortable. Place to do in Guada : Centro, tlaquapaque, Tequila, Guanajato, Sayulita,… In Mexico : All the Riviera Maya (be careful in Cancun with the taxi and the police), Baja California, Puerto Escondido, CDMX, Chiapas,…

Try all the street food, go to tequila, go to the Lucha libre on Tuesday, to Chapultepec on monday to dansé salsa in the street, mercado san Nico on Monday for the street food. El lago de Chapala, beautiful.

All the route are so long in Guada because its a big city with a lot of trafic. Fake your house not to far from you university. You will probably take uber all the time
