"Live and study Spanish in a beautiful colonial city"

Hyejoo Jung

I took an intensive Spanish course in Babilon. The teacher was kind and really took care of each student. When I brought the compositions I wrote (that was neither the homework nor the material from the lessons), he always made corrections even if it wasn't his original job. And when I said something wrong, he always tried to teach me new or better expressions.

Babilon is right in the city center (centro historico) so it was easy to take public transportation and be near the various cultural monuments. I like the Templo de Santa Rosa very much, so after the class I used to visit it, take pictures and take a walk. Generally I liked the whole city very much, and also I could travel to other cities or states more easily because Queretaro is in the center of Mexico.

All the facilities are clean and well-organized. The building is beautiful with the Mexican style which is very different from that of my country so I liked it more.

I did not live in the housing offered by Babilon, but obviously the price is average or cheaper, so it seems that could be a good choice, I guess.

When I came to Mexico I was really worried and not sure it would be a good decision. But now it was one of my best decisions, and if I have another opportunity, I will live in Mexico once more.
