Would you recommend it?
Yeahhhhh ! It was insane. The casa is huge, around 13 bedrooms, private bathroom, big garden, pool, big parties in the casa and around. It was crazy
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
All the clubs the organization partners with (bestario, normal,be...). You have free access, open bottles and all the exchange students are there Also interesting to visit the city even if it's not big, crazy during el dia de los muertos. But you will discover better things during the trips
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Negotiation, commercio virtual are easy and fun. I don't recommend geografica economica
Do you have some tips?
Everything is chill for the exchange students, the campus is not crazy compared to udlap for example, but still nice. The gym is great, there is a food hall and football, tennis pitch.... At the end of the semester, by being kind and respectful, we almost decided our grades ahah. You can miss some days explaining you are going to travel and they understand. Just do some homework to show them you're serious and then it will be 4 months of holidays !!
Best trips to do?
Mexico is insane with so many different cities and thgings to discover. Yucatan (Tulum, Holbox my favorite places), Puerto Escondido, Baja California and of course Mexico City are places to visit. There is a little airport in Puebla but you can also take the bus easily to CDMX if your flight starts there. Then bigger trips can be Costa Rica, Guatemala or other countries of Latin America, all crazy
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Puebla?
Not the best city of the country, but there is everything you need and the advantage of its size is that you can go everywhere quickly compared to Mexico City where it can be very long.
Just enjoy !!! I think about it everyweek, I miss so much this time so live it :)
