In either case the differences between these estimated costs and the final ones should be minimal. The exchange rate considered for the prices presented in US Dollars was pesos per dollar.

Tecnológico de Monterrey will only charge tuition and any other fees or services in Mexican pesos, even though the payment can be made in US Dollars at the exchange rate of the day of payment. Important: Paying by an international transfer of money can only be made in US Dollars and not in pesos. Mexican pesos can only be paid once you are in Mexico. Apartment costs are based on the average rent of a shared apartment. They may vary due to the facilities they offer as well as the proximity to campus.
