Accommodation
To make your stay in Cuernavaca as comfortable and pleasant as possible, the Office of International Programs has established different accommodation arrangements that will certainly serve your needs and desires.
Family Program
We suggest living with a Mexican family to get the full Mexican experience! This family-away-from-home will provide you with two daily meals in summer and two meals from Monday to Saturday during the semester, clean rooms, guidance and advice and whatever else you might need. Most host families show great interest in the lives, cultures and backgrounds of their foreign students. They want to help you learn and feel part of the family. Additionally, most houses have a swimming pool.
Student Inn
This Program offers independent housing within a family's property. The family lives on the same terrain but acts solely as administrator, thus providing a higher level of independence than the Family Program.
On your own
It is possible to find accommodation on your own, for example in the area where the houses from the Family Program and Student Inn program are located. Nonetheless, we recommend you not to try and find something on your own unless you have been to Cuernavaca before and speak Spanish very well or have friends or family living in the area.
Reservations
If you choose one of the accommodation options offered by our campus, please fill out the application form for accommodation as soon as possible. (This form is part of the general application form to enroll in the Tecnológico de Monterrey).
