There are four big, famous shopping malls close to the campus. There you can shop clothes till your credit card is dead! Have fun! :D
LAS AMERICAS
Biggest outlet in the area, located directly at the mexican border. So if you go by car don't miss the last exit, otherwise you drive directly into Tijuana, Mexico. In Las Americas you find all kinds of clothing brands but not all sell their products to real outlet prices. Anyway a must go if you love shopping. By car around half an hour from campus.
