Housing
Students have the option to stay in a prearranged homestay or apartment. UCEAP’s program coordinator has years of experience placing students in ideal spaces and will work to match you in a setting that fits your needs and preferences. Most placements are in the borough of Coyoacán, one of the oldest in Mexico City. The area is filled with cobblestone streets, many historic colonial plazas, and green parks. Relatively peaceful during the week, the center of Coyoacán becomes crowded and festive on weekends and holidays.
