“This trip provided me with amazing opportunities to fully immerse myself in Mexican culture. It allowed me to not only take classes, but to live what I was learning every day, and I was able to learn so much more than I could have if I had stayed home. Every aspect of the program, from class trips to host families, allows you to really apply yourself and test your limits.”

“I think the most valuable aspect of my semester in Merida was living with my local Mamá and her two daughters. I felt like I was better able to integrate myself into daily life and understand complexities that you don’t get from being a tourist. Connecting with Dede, Gina, and André was one of the most valuable experience of my life. My favorite memories came from conversations and activities with them, like when I got to help make pastellitos and wedding cookies with Dede at the kitchen table!”

“My time abroad in Mérida, Mexico changed my perception of the area to include a rich history, economic growth, and a unique culture. I recently returned to Mérida for spring break to see friends I made while abroad and experience one of my favorite cities once again. It felt like going home!”
