No, this was my first time.

The reception was very nice, they were attentive to us at all times.
What will you miss most about Mexico and UNI?
I missed the food from Mexico and from UNI I missed the system they use to evaluate us.
What is the most exciting thing you have experienced so far in this experience?
The most exciting thing was to get to know and explore a city I didn't know. Not being afraid to ask questions.
