You need to contact the nearst Mexican Consulate and they can help you apply for a visa. Try this website for information: http://www.mexonline.com/consulate.htm
2 :
Check out the link below for mailing and e-mail addresses of various Mexican Consulates in the US and Canada. Contact one near you and ask for an application for a student visa. The one in NYC, for example have a website from which you can download an application for visa from ( http://www.consulmexny.org/eng/downloadable_files/mexican_visa_app.PDF). Others probably have likewise. The student visa is called the FM-3 Visa in Mexico (http://www.consulmexny.org/eng/english.html)

How long will you be in Mexico? If you will be there less than 180 days, all you need is a tourist card...which you can obtain on the plane if you fly or at the border if you drive. You definetly DO NOT need an FM3. An FM3 is a visa for persons wanting to IMMIGRATE to Mexico! You also do not need an FM2...which is a visa that is renewed yearly and requires proof of about $1ooo.oo monthly income to obtain. I live in Mexico and am pretty knowledgeable about visas. I believe you just need the 6 month "tourist" card. You can call or visit the nearest Mexican consulate to ask for yourself. Go to the website below and click on "consular services" to find the list of consulates (click on "English version" first).

Don't dress "sexy"--that's asking for trouble. Travel with others (classmates, host family) if you're going shopping or the movies. Have your parents set up a bank account with an ATM card in your town. Then they can put money into the account and you can withdraw it, with your ATM card, in Saltillo. Just withdraw it as you need it--don't carry too much cash on your person at any time. And don't flash the money around.

look I'm form that city but I'm living in unites states for long time and i have seem to many changes in that city but the best thing you can do is don't go out to a place you don't know and only with people are in charge of you safety if some invite you make sure they know where you going and who is that person I'm thinking to do the same thing with my son because he needs to learn speak in Spanish .
3 :
Yeah, dress fairly conservatively, no cleavage, bare midriff, etc.,what might be fairly normal in the US might be considered "whorish" in Mexico and guys will treat you accordingly. If you do get unwanted attention, do what the native women seem to do, which is act like they don't exist.

I live in Mexico. If you plan to visit for less than 180 days, all you need is a tourist card. If you fly, you can obtain it on the airplane (they take care of this all the time.) If you drive, you can get it at the border. Cost is about $20.00 You will both need a passport..you from your country and your friend a U.S. passport. You should also have a certified copy of your birth certificate. you do not need to do any other paperwork. If your American friend does not already have a passport, he/she can go to the post office in your town to fill out papers. Please allow 8 weeks to get it as the passport offices are very busy now with new rules going into effect. A U.S. passport costs $97.00 total. Your friend can look on the web site below to read the requirements for obtaining a passport. If you are going to travel in March, better apply for that passport right away.

Where in Mexico? It varies greatly by location.
2 :
It depends on the city, the neighborhood, what kind of housing you require/will accept, and what your dietary and entertainment habits are. My son shares an apartment in moderately middle class zone of Mexico City with 2 other young men. Not counting tuition it costs me $1000 dollars a month to maintain him there.
3 :
congratulations!!..UDLA is the best university of mexico,if you stay in cholula is cheaper than puebla but is smaller!!( less fun..ajjaj), apartament and food with 1000 usd a month (if you share)
