University and Location
Founded by a group of Mexican entrepreneurs in 1943, Tec de Monterrey is a private university serving approximately 95,000 students in over 30 campuses around the country. It is a leading private Mexican institution known for its academic rigor, modern campuses and state of the art facilities. Georgetown students attend the Monterrey, Guadalajara and Querétaro campuses. Monterrey, with a population of 3 million people, is Mexico's third largest city and one of the country's major industrial centers as well as a focal point for trade relations between Mexico and the US. Tec's campus in Monterrey is the oldest and largest one serving over 17,000 students. With a population of 3.5 million, Guadalajara is the second largest city in Mexico. Although its economy is based in the technology industry, this city offers a pleasant suburban atmosphere and is considered a center for the arts and for Mexican culture. In its state of the art campus, Tec serves 4,800 students. Located in the heart of Mexico, Querétaro is a charming city of less than one million people rich in history and colonial architecture. Tec's modern campus serves 3,000 students.

Each International Programs Office at Tec de Monterrey places foreign students in on-campus dormitory rooms or in private homes off-campus. Students in host families eat at home. Those in residences may eat at university cafeterias and snack bars or at variety of restaurants within walking distance of the campus.
