That the school was at 40 minutes by bus from town. (Campus Mazatlan) No big deal, but always good to know. In my opinion:
Most people loved it.

Personal recommendation:
Good teaching, good service, not much to say... But as I said earlier, organizing events with local people and foreigners should make better contacts, especially when someone wants to learn a language. FINAL COMMENTS
I know that the TEC is a highly reputated school, but I found that it was a big party trip for most people on this exchange. Of course, I should have known better,the campus was in Mazatlan, close to the beach. The atmosphere on a small recluded campus can be fun, but it is important to realize that the culture of the host country might be missing... Foreigners are gatthering together and make groups which is fun, but it depends what you're looking for. Travelling in Mexico is cheap and easy, lots of things to see and do. As the other exchanges I made with the UNAM and the UCR, find a place to stay is not that hard, it's cheaper and you'll meet other kind of people.

Personal recommendation:
It is importante to know that here exists a different way of teaching and learning, more like in school. The people here at the campus are rich and some of them do not see the problems that occurre outside of the campus. It is not possible to compare studying here with getting to know a lot of the mexican culture. FINAL COMMENTS
It is no easy to live in Mexico-City, a lot of contermination y too much people-. If you want to study here you need 900 US-dollars for one month, trips not included. It is recomendable to live in a zone with private secuurity because there are a lot of robberies here( two weeks ago they stole my car). Don´t forget that Mexico-City is dangerous!

Very large campus, a lot of people from abroad, mexicans from other parts of the country. Losts of things to do in Monterrey. FINAL COMMENTS
In summer Monterrey is very very hot. If your going to travel all over Mexico contact in the campus people from the part you are going to, they will give you the best advise. When travelling do not wear ostentatious things. Taste "margaritas" and a beer called "Sol". This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

It is a very good, private university with high-level, creative courses. I have never seen a university with so many facilities and personal attention for students. FINAL COMMENTS
Once you are in Mexico try to travel as much as possible, I especially recommend you to see Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Oaxaca with Monte Alban and Mexico city with Teotihuacan (and of course all the coast places are really nice). Do not eat food "de la calle" - bought on the street, you can get sick very easily. Take only authorized taxis, the ones with white board and the number on the front window.
