First off, the TEC is about half the size of CMU which is nice because some classes start within 5 minutes of each other.
The Main Plaza
I am not sure of the actual name of it, but here are a few photos!
The school has a very open set-up, with hallways that overlook the plaza(s) as you can see in the left photo. Fountains are quite common in Queretaro, not just on campus--the campus has 2 that I know of.
The right photo is still in the main plaza but a closer look at the buildings' setup.
Sitting Areas
There are a lot of sitting areas on campus! Benches, picnic tables, etc. Some people sit and/or lay in the grass (like at CMU) but most tend to sit in designated spots. This particular spot is across from
The TEC Gym
Some of the buildings
In the left is photo two buildings, the left has the school of business and the right is for the school of media.
Across from these two buildings is an Oxxo--which is like a 7-11 convenience store. There are several similar stores like a snack shack and cafe on campus, but I like this the most since it's cheaper and has a large variety.
Palm trees! I like this building the most (I have 1 class, 1 club in it) and it's all because of the palm trees.
I don't remember the name of this building and what department(s) are/is in it.
The buildings here also have a numbering system, I believe it goes to 15?
So the way classrooms work for example is 4323, the first number 4 is the building, the second number 3 is the floor, and last two numbers is the room number.
Other fun stuff!
This is the campus "T" for TEC, it is made of wood, I believe. What is fun about it, is that he travels all over campus. I'm not sure who is in charge of moving him (or if anyone is in charge of moving him) but he gets put in different places. For those of you wondering why it hasn't been stolen, the TEC is a gated university with 24 hour surveillance and security. You have to scan your ID in order to enter/leave campus--cars included.
Anyways, I want to take pictures of it in various places on campus and treat it like the traveling gnome.
Now I have not ridden on this yet, but I hope I will before I leave. There is a mini-bus on campus that drives around and drops off/picks up student, faculty and guests. It's free too!
Another cool part about this campus is there are bikes on campus, free for anyone to use (or you can bring your own) some have baskets as well. Unfortunately I forgot to get a photo of the free bikes, but you can see them (most are blue/yellow) in front of the mini-bus.
There are more places I need to take photos of, such as the library and the International Programs office, but I will have to update that later. As for now, time to study!

The TEC Gym
The gym is smaller, but it has everything ranging from cardio to strength training. The exercise classes are free! They have classes ranging from dancing, weight training, boxing, yoga, and aerobics.
One of the things that they told us at orientation was to make sure to take care of our physical health while here. I personally have taken advantage of the gym, and I work out at least 3 times a week because I want a healthy well-being while here.
The gym is always closed on Sundays.
