ICB is the Bio/Medical campus; it and the main campus are in the Guadalajara area. The main campus is close to if not in Zapopan.

They are not that far away, if one is a good walker have at it. Go out the main entrance at ICB (at the Gate) and then straight up the steep hill (asphalt road) to the stop light (Pablo Neruda), then take a left and continue walking for a long time until you see the arch way. Better yet, take a bus when you get to Pablo Neruda and return on the bus for the hike down the hill (Ask for directions so you take the correct bus).

Phones: One Mexican (cell) pay as you go credit card one, and one US VOIP phone (internet based) or skype WIFI phone or similar setup.

US cell phone is expensive and towers can fail so you cannot receive calls.

WIFI phones require an access point like at Star Bucks or an open router in the area (ICB Library) , some of the newer ones for skype and other services support WEP. Battery life is poor.

If you cannot connect your computer and hardware and setup the wireless or cable it, work these issues at at home not in mexico.
