Among the exceptions are E.T.S.I. Minas and Industriales which are still quite close to Ciudad Universitaria, E.U.I.T. Obras Públicas situated close to the center of Madrid and E.U. Informática forming a separate campus at the border of Madrid together with E.T.S.I. en Topografía, Geodesia y Cartografía and E.U.I.T. Telecomunicación. </p> <p> <img src="images/upm_campus1.png" /><br /> Figure: Locations of UPM centers (1) (Source: Google Earth) </p> <p> Finally there’s a third campus containing only the faculty for computer science (Facultad de Informática) which is situated completely outside of Madrid at Boadilla de Monte. </p> <p> <img src="images/upm_campus2.png" /><br /> Figure: Locations of UPM centers (2) (Source: Google Earth) </p> <p> It takes quite a while to get to this campus from the center of Madrid. Taking the Metro to Aluche and then the bus to Boadilla de Monte it takes about 45 minutes. Taking the Metro Ligero, which should be finished by now, from Aluche to Boadilla, it might take a little less. </p> <h3> Museums & POI<a id="poi"></a></h3> <ul> <li>Museo Histórico-Minero (E.T.S.I.
