Why choose Guadalajara
Universidad de Guadalajara is the second-oldest university in Mexico. It has existed since 1791 and under its current name since 1925. The nearby city of Guadalajara has the third-largest economy and industrial infrastructure in Mexico.
While it is a modern city, it has kept many of the rural traditions of Jalisco, such as mariachi, and a strong sense of Catholicism. In addition, the city is the cultural centre of Mexico and host to a number of large-scale and globally renowned cultural events which draw international crowds. The university is only 13km away from the city centre, taking about 20 minutes to get there by taxi or bus. Guadalajara is a sprawling city with plenty to explore but beyond the city, Jalisco offers many interesting day trips.
