Student Housing in Mexico City

A great benefit of coming from Europe to Mexico City is that the cost of living is cheaper than you might be used to. This helps you a lot with finding a nice accommodation. Although it’s one of the most amazing cities, you can easily get lost when surfing the internet for a nice place to live. It’s especially hard if you cannot even see the room before your arrival. Therefore we always recommend to first book an Airbnb, or something similar, for the first week while you go meet up with landlords to visit the house. To make your experience the best it’s not only important to have a nice room, but also to live in with awesome international students. This gives you the feeling of a new family with whom you are going to explore the new world Mexico City has to offer you.

At Tellanto.com we have a lot of experience with students going to Mexico City. We carefully listen to their do’s and don’ts and have been to Mexico ourselves.
