Location
About Monterrey, Mexico
Cosmopolitan Monterrey is Mexicos third-largest city, second-largest industrial center and number one in per-
capita income. This economic powerhouse has a strong entrepreneurial ethos, humming cultural scene, vibrant
universities and eclectic cuisine. With sprawling suburbs of gargantuan air-conditioned malls and manicured housing
estates, this is also one of Mexicos most Americanized cities. Boasting world-class museums and a jagged mountain
backdrop that offers terrific outdoor adventure sports, the city's attractions are diverse and myriad.
All of this makes Monterrey fiercely independent and very different to any other Mexican metropolis youll
encounter. Sadly, its appeal has recently been compromised by some of Mexicos worst drug violence, much of which
was played in the city center in 2011. But by early-2014 the troubles appeared to have eased and cultural life was
beginning to return to the heart of the city, with boutiques and bars re-opening in the Barrio Antiguo. If you stay in the
center, this historic core is very accessible. Most of Monterrey's main cultural attractions are clustered close by (except
the extraordinary Parque Fundidora) and you'll have the Barrio Antiguo on your doorstep. Away from the center,
prosperous areas like San Pedro Garza Garca are dominated by thundering highways so theres little joy exploring them
on foot.

About Tecnolgico de Monterrey

Tecnolgico de Monterrey was founded in 1943, a vision of Eugenio Garza Sada and a group of businessmen who
formed a non-profit association called Enseanza e Investigacin Superior. The university is a private, non-profit
institution, independent and not related to any political party or religious group. The work of the university and of all of
its 33 campuses is supported by civil associations made up of a large group of outstanding leaders from all parts of the
country, who are committed to quality in higher education.
Tecnolgico de Monterrey is currently a multi-campus university system with academic centres in different
regions of the country. The prestige that the university has enjoyed since its beginnings, not only for its academic level
but also for the culture of entrepreneurship, hard work, efficiency and responsibility it promotes in its students, has
motivated its graduates from different regions of the country to promote the formation of campuses of the Tecnolgico
de Monterrey in their native cities. Some graduates are now directors of successful companies in Mexico and Latin
America, while increasing numbers of graduates go on to take up important positions in the government and public
administration.
