#On the Move During the International Management Studies
Experiencing Contrasts in Mexico (Management Double Degree)
Sven Goldammer has been studying for five months at the Tec de Monterrey in Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city. Together with fellow ISM students and some Mexicans, he has rented a house and lived right in the middle of Mexican life. He's spent Christmas traditionally with his Mexican landlords and with family. On New Year's Eve he went to Las Vegas.
