    The National Autonomous University of Mexico (Spanish: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, abbreviated as UNAM) was founded in 1551, making it the oldest in North America. It is the largest university in Latin America and was ranked the best in Latin America, Spain and Portugal, and 95 in the world according to a study conducted by The Times

      You should have taken the Pumabus! It's free and it takes you everywhere (though I assume you probably wanted to walk around). I really liked your video, UNAM is probably my favorite place in all of Mexico City. As a student or former student you truly feel like you're at home there, it gives you everything. Aside from being UNESCO world heritage, it's also a "reserva ecológica" and there are many endemic flora and fauna species.

    I love this video. My wife studied here while working on her Master's degree. I spent a week here and searched every corner with no difficulties. Had a great time and took many pics. Hand ball is what I've always known as the sport you witnessed. There are handball courts in many parks in L.A. Near the bibliotheca was a trailer that sold blue corn quesadillas. The woman who ran it had blue hands from making tortillas all day. I spent quite a bit of money on these great delicacies! Thanks English Paul. Brought back great memories. FYI:y wife earned 2 Masters degrees. One in Mexican history and the other in Libraries and Information Studies!

    The volcanic rock comes because more than 1400 years ago a volcano called Xitle made an eruption and the whole zone was affected and that's why the zone of Pedregal, Coyoacán and parts of Tláhuac have those rocks, that also make the ground much more steady on earthquakes. Just so you know 😊

    I was an UNAM student from 1965 to 1977. Yes, we all, Mexico City natives play frontón a mano, three band billiard and boxing like almost nobody else in the world. Curiously the best fronton players are among the very wealthy and the very poor people; but we all play it. A really luxury home has fronton and swimming pool; a poor neighborhoods have public fronton courts.

      depende de qué carrera y área quieras. Es un examen general con 120 preguntas de química, física, geografía, literatura, español, matemáticas, biología, historia de México e historia universal.
      Debes obtener un cierto número de aciertos para ingresar a la carrera que desees, siendo medicina la más demandada con 108 aciertos y creo que trabajo social o enfermería los más bajos con 68.
      El examen viene con 6 versiones para cada área, 4 en total (físico-matemáticas y de las ingenierías, químicas y de la salud, ciencias sociales, humanidades). Cada área tiene diferente formato de preguntas enfocadas un poco al área preferida
      Por ejemplo, si pides área de la salud, te preguntarán más cosas de biología y química además de ser de un grado mucho mayor de dificultad a las preguntas que se le harían a las demás áreas en el mismo ramo.
      Realizar el examen tiene un costo de 400 pesos mexicanos y se hacen dos convocatorias al año, una en enero (entre el 5 y 15 aprox) y otra en marzo-abril (del 25 de marzo al 5 de abril aprox).

I am impressed with everything you have done so far, and for a foreign person, you have done a great job talking about my country's capital city and what it has to offer. Pumas de la UNAM is my favorite team from the Mexican football league, and maybe one day, I'd like to get my master's from UNAM. Two weeks, God willing, and I will be in Ciudad de México. Keep creating more videos because I am sure as hell that more people like myself, truly enjoy them. So long! ¡Hasta luego!

    Oh I study History in the Philosophy and Letters faculty, near the Central Library that you were filming, I could give you a tour whenever you want. Also you could take the Pumabus, is free and have many routes so you can move all over the campus.

    Great video, definitely nostalgic for me, didn't go to UNAM but lived 5 min from there. About the building with the murals unless they changed it that's not the library that's the "rectoría" the main office for the UNAM, the library is or at least was close to the symphonic Hall, it is a modern building 4 or 5 floors. Like I said that's how I remember it anyway. Thanks for giving me a bit of my city through your videos hermano! Gracias!

    • @TrueMexico
      @TrueMexico  8 лет назад

      Happy you enjoyed it! The building I showed has been UNAM's central library since 1950 and has its own wikipedia page! :) Are you thinking it's a different building? There are others with murals.

    Hi Paul I love your Channel! The sport in your video is called Handball here in California. I am Mexican American and grew up playing handball with friends and relatives. I never notice before that we all happened to be Mexican American until now. Anyways, it's super fun, you should try it. : )

    The fronton part reminded me when I was studying in high school in Mexico. I think it is a very popular sport in the central part of Mexico. I have a couple of friends that studied there. I tried but I could not get in lol. The admission test is very hard and very few people get in. Great video though!!!

    In the US that sport/game is known as wall handball. I used to see people play it growing up. I remember the guys paying it used to think they were all tough.

    UNAM used to be one of the very few universities where young people could get a degree in this country. Now, every state in Mexico has at least one public university, plus the private ones, and students don't have to go to college outside their home state. So, UNAM is becoming more of UNADF or UNACDMX since most of its students are from Mexico City. Thank you for this video.
