Thank you very much! Only three classes left before graduation:) I know it's nice to see that someone else is doing it but even if there wasn't, you can always pave the path! I think moving to Mexico for university was the best decision I ever made

I’m moving as well! Hopefully spring semester of 2020

Omg same I’m currently a senior in high school and I want to go to Mexico to go to a university!

Yes exactly! I feel like I am taking advantage of getting a more affordable university while still getting top quality education 😁

Flavio Diaz I study there, and let me tell you, I have no regrets. It just turned into the best college in Mexico btw. Good luck my friend

Flavio Diaz Hiii, can you please tell me the application process?

Giancarlo, I would really recommend contacting the school directly by phone. They will give you the best possible information to get started. Fortunately, tec de Monterrey is more than capable of adhering to foreign students.

Giancarlos Hernandez hey dude lol I need your info because I’m going through a mental break down rn

I’m a senior rn in high school here in Texas and I’m planning to go to Monterrey for college

I applaud the decision to explore your options! I would contact the schools directly, just find a phone number or an email at the school website, whoever you contact will direct you to who you need to talk to. People in Mexico are generally very nice and helpful:)

Cetys universidad acepta fafsa and is located by the border

@@sergtana Thank you serg. Great video. I want that go to Guada and work and do college. Went to academy of Entertainment and technology Santa Monica. Are you in Guada? I think USA is unstable. And mexico is way more stable.

@@sergtana Which are the public. Schools in Mexico ? Thank you

Big cities in Mexico are exactly the same as the US.

Do you like international bussiness? Is it difficult?

Omg, can I get your email or something to contact you? I would love to ask you some questions, I’m currently in the process of taking the same path

@@Ale-ht9co Hi, yess it's a little difficult bc you have to graduate atleast with 3 language's bc in this career its a lot of competition once you graduate. Like if your bilingual is not enough to prove you can be international. & you have to like history bc you sure get a lot of history about different countries ! But, yess I love International Business .

@@helenyanez146 Sure ! My email is meliday1999@gmail.com. I wish you luck all I have to say is Mexico gives you a lot of opportunities if you search for them. I would love to give u a little story on my 3 years of living in Mx. How much progress I have made. Send me an email so I can explain better (:

@@melissatorres8114 Seems right I am already fluent in 3 languages. (Half mexican but I live in italy so spanish, italian and english) and love history. However now I'm probably going to go for graphic design as I'm more of a creative person.

Thank you very much! We appreciate your comments and support

My two brothers study (well, one already graduated this year) in that university and they love it, the education is top class, the campus is so beautiful, there are so many activities and it's actually in the 200 best universities in the whole world. I think it's a great option

Absolutely consider it! I'm only weeks away from getting my degree! I honestly consider this the best decision I ever made.

I hope everything works out super well for you! Hopefully our videos can assist your smooth transition to Mexico. If you have any questions that we don't address, let us know:)

They are willing to work with you also some teachers can let you do homeworks in your native language.

@@elisan.p.5807Hi Are you from Mexico I’ve been trying to apply for school in Mexico

@@joelsonf95 Yes, but you can go to their website and send them an email or call them! Usually Mon-Fri 8 am to 4 pm I usually get a response withing 24 hrs even faster if I call :)

No student debt is the same as earning a lot more money up front! Congrats! Best of luck:)

How is it? I’m planning on doing just that in December

aww you’re so sweet! i’m so glad you could find some helpful information in the video (: best of luck to you! 🖤🖤🖤

Interesting. The only entrance exam I had to take was the SAT. I submitted my scores and got accepted. I'd suggest emailing the university you're considering and explaining your situation, they may have a specific path for foreign students

Yes. I think that everyone should learn the native language. And I was wondering too about the community college credits. I have some but i do have more from a state university

I will look for work all over the world! Not just US or Mexico. I think for international business, it makes sense to study abroad since it gives you new perspective. Mexico is specifically good because it's an economic leader of Latin America and many countries do business with it due to it's proximity to the US. There's a lot of foreign businesses in Mexico. I would say studying international business here is good, yes.

I started contacting them around February of my senior year. I would advice calling them as soon as possible so that you know exactly what you need. The process is really quite easy. I don't remember what it is but I was able to be accepted and have everything in order within a couple of months.

That's natural! Don't worry, it'll all be worth it. Where will you go going?

how is it ?

How is it going?

How is it going?

I don't think 2 year colleges are a thing in mexico. I went for 4 years

I can really only speak for myself and of course you can spend more or less. I went to a relatively expensive university and lived in an expensive neighborhood. Like I said, this is relative because it is insanely affordable compared to US prices and for the value you get. For expenses, we spent $180 for the both of us. We paid around $350 for rent and utilities (this is for a bedroom with roommates so it would've been more for our own place) And the university is around $7200 a semester. Those $180/week allowed us to get pretty expensive groceries, Uber around town, and go out as we pleased. Obviously we couldn't ball out daily and go on day trips every weekend but we struck the balance that made us comfortable. I hope this helps.

It was so much easier than it seems. Of course there was a learning curve but you have to remember that what I have learned in university I didn't know in English either so at the end of the day it was just learning in a different language. It actually helps me to take notes in English to process the information by translating it. You learn so much in the first few months about being in a new place but after that, it's just university!

As an international business degree, I won't necessarily need validity of my degree to get a job in the field. And yes, I went to high school in the US, graduated, and was at Anáhuac by July

serg & tana how did you apply?

That's awesome! You'll certainly love it, where are you expecting to go in Mexico?

serg & tana exactly there in queretaro!! 😍

Oooh! Even better! You'll definitely love it!

rica arro hey, you should take a look to tec de Monterrey university in Querétaro

Yes! Both tana and I went to Pepperell elementary actually:)

I know your little bro

My school actually has an amazing culinary program! Of course they accept international students, I know students from France, Switzerland, The US, Panama, Colombia, Syria, and more places here!

@@sergtana please tell me how I can contact you. Or you school link. And do they require ielts?

The best way to write us directly is through Instagram DMs

Thank you for sharing! I was unaware of this.

Call the University and ask them. Maybe ask be to put in touch with the department of what you're wanting to study. You'll get so many different opinions online and they will be the ones that actually know the exact truth.

Hi im currently looking into this exact university did you end up going!??

Hi, crim, While I do not know exactly what you'll require to the Anahuac University in Queretaro I can share some experiences transfering in mexico. Most universities here in mexico can "revalidate" (revalidar) classes and mark this as already passed, this can be done 2 ways normally if you have your university's curriculum in enough detail (and certified) and a partial (certified) kardex, you can get those classes, and for the classes that are not curricularly similar enough a simple test can be performed to get the validation if you think you do. The process for you would be very simple, just send an email to the university you are interested and they are going to see what they can do for you, they will even find a scholarship for you (if you can apply to it), I have some friends that did the transfer from american schools and they didn't feel that it was hard to do. NOW the real benefits, I would suggest you look at four universities, but for contrast I will begin with Georgia State's stats: Georgia State: 15,502.10USD per year[1] Global Ranking: 701-750 (Top 3.5%) Tec de Monterrey (private): 13,576.57USD per year Global Ranking: 158 (Top 1%) Pros: almost all classes can be taken in english Cons: expensive, almost half of the students have a scholarship Universidad Anahuac(private): 4,526.95USD per year Global Ranking: 561-570 (Top 2.5%) Pros: good price/ranking Cons: Not fully english? --- public universities -- Universidad Autonoma de Mexico(public): 150 USD per year + 150USD cuota because of the foreign nationality Global Ranking: 103 (Top 0.5%) Pros: Ridiculously cheap Cons: Harder to enter than an Ivy league university, almost no english Universidad de Guadalajara (UdG) (public): 2,000 USD per year (foreign nationality) 80 USD to mexican citizens Global Ranking: 701-750 (Top 3.5%) Pros: Very cheap , easy to get into, same rank zone as your current university Cons: Not very flexible, you need good spanish, -wouldn't call it the best on STEM fields- I stand corrected my brother made me remember me that CUCEI an UDG STEM specialized center exists -- Conclusion -- Private schools are easy to get into, and you get what you pay for, just more than the equivalent in the US. Public schools are OP, very cheap, good, but much less flexible, this schools specialize on a career so even when they are lower on the general list they can be very good at an specific subject. As an example: In medicine UdG is in the top 450 list of universities of the world and paying 80USD a year!! [1]: using the calulator: admissions.gsu.edu/cost-calculator/

Wow thank you very very much for your help with this question!

crim306 let me know how that goes for you man I go to Georgia State too but to the Clarkston campus and im thinking about going to Anahuac

I would suggest going on their website and emailing them directly. That's exactly what I did and they directed me to the right people. People in Mexico are generally very nice and helpful so no worries contacting! If you need to speak English, that won't likely be a problem.

Muchas gracias!:)

No,hay de que ☺️ uno de mis primos va a ese colegio

It depends on the university and it depends on the degree. The universities where it'd be easiest would be tec de Monterrey and Arkansas state. In terms of the degree, in my case it doesn't really matter since I majored in international business which is more of knowledge adquisition than the degree.

Yes! Gather all of your school transcripts and paperwork you may need. Shipping to Mexico is an ordeal. I would look for expat groups on Facebook to kinda get an idea of the people or the vibe you'll be settling down in. Although it's great to get to know the town through locals, if you'll be there an extended period, expats are the ones who really understand you. They've gone through the same thing you're going through. It'll help to not feel lonely or homesick. Otherwise, anything you tend to buy online, try to get before you go to Mexico. Online shopping is much better in the US. Finally, I would just say to save your money. It'll go much further in Mexico and there will be far more exciting things to spend it on such as Por Siempre tacos:D

serg & tana thank you so much, i didnt consider some of this and it’s very helpful!! and yass, i am saving as much as i can before i leave

yes i second that

Hi Brayan! I didn't answer Santiago on here because we had a private message on Instagram about this already. I have dual citizenship so I didn't have to get anything done in terms of visa but I believe that is quite straightforward as I know many people who have come with student visas. In terms of equivalency, the University was able to accept me just with my paperwork from the US. I didn't have to do anything to validate it through the Mexican education system until I had already started my first semester. The school gives you a specific list of things you have to get validated but I repeat, you can apply and get accepted to a university in Mexico before actually getting this validation process done.

serg & tana i have more information on this and will update y’all this weekend or next with a complete answer.

It depends on the employer and the field that she plans on studying in. I felt that having studied in Mexico didn't negatively affect my options at getting a job. I actually felt that it helped set me apart because having international experience gives you a different perspective that no other candidate would have. Honestly though, where you go to university doesn't matter that heavily when it comes to getting a job, it's what you learn and the experiences you have that matter

serg & tana She is studying to become an architect. I mean she will be studying there for 5 yrs so who knows if she will want to come back to the us, but do u think that would set her back when getting a job in the us if she were to come back? Haha srry for all the questions we just want someone that has had experience in this:)

For architecture she absolutely would have no issues going back to the US for work. If she can go to a top school in Mexico instead of a mediocre school in the US, she'll even have the opportunity of interning at more important firms than she would have in the US. It really depends on the schools she's considering in either country. No worries! I have no problem helping although it may be easier for me through Instagram DMs!

Sure! You really have plenty of time. I love that you're looking beyond the options in the country. Honestly, the best thing you can do is narrow down your list of the places you may want to live and research them and your university options there.

There's no Aztec though, it would be Nahuatl.

For public school options I know UNAM, UANL, Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, and Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro. For private schools I would recommend Anáhuac, but that's where I went so maybe I'm biased:D

serg & tana it’s fine lol but thank you so much!

Hi, unfortunately there is no defined system in place. Each university in Mexico will have their own credentials when it comes to the US recognizing the degree. In my case, I studied international business and since I never intended on working in US customs for example, I never needed to be sure that my degree validated in the US. Right now I work for a US company with my degree but it's because they only wanted me to have had the college experience and education, they didn't really care much for whether or not it was technically certified in the US. In any case, if your degree being automatically valid in the US is very important to you, it's important that you talk to the university that you're considering directly. I believe the best choices you'll have however are the two I mentioned in the video Tec de Monterrey (any campus) or Arkansas State Querétaro. Hope this helps!

Can you send us the link for application 🙏

Yes. A lot of people do. Especially during the last couple of years through paid internships

Hi! In my experience, the safety doesn't really apply to most of the country. Not to undermine a serious issue but we have never had an issue with safety!

Yes. I submitted my SAT scores as my entrance exam. I happen to have Mexican citizenship but there are other foreigners here that don't. I'm sure you do have to get a student visa which in Mexico should be quite straightforward

serg & tana Thank you so much for responding!!!! And do you know what specific score you needed to get to get in?

@@sergtana hii, if I can know, what did you get in your SAT?

No I don't remember but I only took it once and didn't study so I can't imagine I did very well

Yes! I only needed to submit my SAT scores and I didn't have to take another admissions exam

Oh ok. Do you know if the SAT is similar to the admission exam? Is there information available on how to study for this exam?

May I ask where you're applying from? In the US, all students intending to go to university take the SAT. My results of this are what I sent to the university. Their admissions exam here is also made by the same people as those who make the SAT so I assume it's somewhat similar but I can't know for sure.

From California. But I actually spoke to someone. And they confirmed my SAT can be sent instead. And then a psychometric test must be taken after at the University

Sure. Private universities can essentially charge what they want. Of course, in theory, the more expensive the private universities, the better it is. This is because it'd be ridiculous to pay more for a worse education.

Hi, no worries. Most importantly, everything I learned, I didn't know in English either so learning it in spanish was no different to learning it in english. All that ended up happening is that my business, accounting, marketing, and finance diction is stronger in spanish. Otherwise, it's really no different. The system isn't different either. It's still just a professor teaching and students learning and taking notes. You still write reports and do homework. The only difference is that it's in spanish. I don't want to make it sound like there's no difficulties but I never felt like I was behind because I came from another country. Just think about all of the international students that go to school to other countries, it's just like that.

I did! That was a nightmare because I had to go to all of these offices here in Mexico to revalidate all of my prior education. It probably took like 2 weeks of multiple visits and a lot of patience. Just be sure to bring everything possible. Diplomas, transcripts, etc. I wish I had more insight but this was 6 years ago now. I can say it was definitely worth it though. The only other part of enrollment was filling out applications and submitting my SAT scores. That part was very straightforward.

And i mean everything, even from middle school and elementary to be sure.

Hi Leslie! I only know Anáhuac is actually a good school for architecture because I went there. However, the top schools usually have the best programs anyway. Tec de Monterrey would have a great program. And remember! Although it's called Tec de Monterrey, they have campuses all over the country so you can really explore your options. Public school options would be UNAM or UAM in Mexico City.

serg & tana Thank you very much for your help.

Universidad de Guadalajara is one lf the Best public universities in México. Plus, life in Guadalajara can be cheaper than in México City depending on the area.

I majored in International Business. I'm not totally sure how it works for medicine but, I believe, here you study medicine from your undergrad years.

You should check out the university of guadalajara for medicine degree.
