Host Family or Dorms - Tec de Monterrey, Mexico

Applying to College

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I think I'll be going to Tec de Monterrey in the fall. It is an amazing program and is cheaper than a year's tuition at my school. I have two choices: a host family or a dorm. The thing is, it is a very conservative school. If you live in the dorms, they take attendance every night, you are not allowed opposite-sex visitors and if you want to go out after a certain time you have to fill out a form, etc. And then, there's the host family. Obviously, it could be the same deal. What if they don't let me out at night, not introduce me to ppl, etc etc..</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I would definitely advocate for a host family whenever possible. It is by far the best way to acquire the foreign language, plus having a family away from home will be comforting and an unparalleled glimpse into the culture.</p>

<p>Although I would definitely agree with the host family statement, I must add - I have stayed in the Tec dorms and they have private bathrooms. Just sayin! Good luck (:</p>
