When travelling, most to-do-lists don't include visits to universities, but the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México is one of my fave chill spots in Mexico City. I mostly enjoy seeing the mosaics on all of the buildings (its main campus is a World Heritage site, boasting murals by Diego Rivera and Davíd Alfaro Siqueiros), but it is also a great spot for people-watching since there are 310,000+ students!!

| In the bkgd we see UNAM's central library and perhaps its most famous building. It is covered in tiles which depict various aspects of México's history and culture. In the foreground, we see a wall with one of the many pre-Columbian designs the university features. |

| now THIS is a quad =)...but UNAMers prefer to call this area Las Islas or the Islands =) |
