Would you recommend it?
Yes! I highly recommend it. It was a fairly large house with 3 bedrooms. It was very well equipped and comfortable with plenty of space and a terrace. The la flores were very nice and help full. If I have to stay more time I wouldn’t hesitate to keep this house.
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
There are lots of options for parties. Every wednesdays there was a before in Mercado Revolucion (a space mainly for international students but every people is welcomed) and then an after at the Normal, a nightclub. It was very great but you have lots of other options to going out. The Strana and the Empire are my favorite after the Normal.
🎓 Uni life at Tec de Monterrey
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
I am in International Business and when I realized my courses sélection I took some courses of another career like « introduction to econometrics » and « organizational business processes ». I didn’t recommend these courses if you are not in engineer because it was very difficult with strong bases. The other courses were very good. I recommend taking « Strategy and talent ».
Do you have some tips?
Yesss! The campus of Monterrey is amazing. There are lot of space, animals, greenery and that makes the expérience very comfortable and pleasant. There are also lots of animations and activités organised during the semester and that is pretty. You have also access to lots of space for doing sport for free. The registration is pretty easy, just make sure to meet the deadlines and be carefull with the course sélection. You have to be connected on time to have you desired courses. I stay for one year and I decided to change of campus to discover other things but I really recommend the one of Monterrey!
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
I think Monterrey has not the best localisation for travelling but there are lots of opportunities. Even in the city you can go for lots of hikings that are very good like « Cerro de la Silla ». It is wonderfull !! My favorite travelling was in Puerto Vallarta. Taking flights is very easy there are lots of flights availiable. I advice you to anticipate your travels and don’t miss the check-in…
🌆 Monterrey vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Monterrey?
For the transports, It's really not advisable to take public transportation. Use Uber or Didi instead, which are very inexpensive. For the cost of living, I find that groceries are quite expensive. Keep in mind that Monterrey is a very developed city, and therefore some prices are high compared to other Mexican cities. However, there are many activities with very reasonable prices (cinema, bowling, etc.). If you want to order food, I recommend Rappi and for the flights, trip.com. I think it's important to get moving and do activities, go out, etc. to make the most of the experience! And above all, don't hesitate to reach out to others! Mexicans are incredibly welcoming.
