Tecnológico de Monterrey

Tecnológico de Monterrey- Campus Querétaro, otherwise known as "Tec," is the magnificent university I'm attending down in Mexico. It has about 5,000 students which makes it feel very personal in contrast to the 40,000 or so at Purdue. After one week, I'm somewhat familiar with my teachers, office staff, and other students on campus.

To my surprise (and a little bit disappointment), everyone is on time here! I had been warned about Mexicans' lack of promptness and told stories of teachers showing up 30 min to class without notice, but as of now, it's not true. Well, I kind of take that back: at school it's not true. Apparently Tec was started by Americans and thus runs like an American university with schedules and time. If we're talking about a social event, those can start up to 2 hours after the scheduled time; it hasn't been a hard adjustment for me because I've never been one for punctuality.

Speaking of time, my earlier class is at 11:30 am!! It's awesome... but I do end kind of late. Actually on Tuesday I don't finish until 9 pm :) Oh and I'm taking an extra class- a dance class! No, not salsa. No, not tango. No, not any other stereotypical Latin-American dance. Yes, hip-hop. I've tried the others and found I'm not a fan of all their structure. Thus, I'm ready to find out what Mexican hip-hop is like because that class starts next week!

Well here's some pictures from campus:
