Why Mexico?
Study abroad in beautiful southern Mexico. Mexico is truly one of the most fascinating and diverse countries in the world. A land of snow-capped peaks, expansive deserts, cool cloud forests, and two gorgeous coastlines, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. As diverse as it is geographically, Mexico is home to a large variety of cultures and indigenous communities. For example, within this Latin American country there are 68 nationally recognized languages by the Mexican government. With its proximity to the United States it is a country of immense importance to the US and merits a deeper exploration and understanding by North Americans. It provides a dearth of issues and topics to be explored such as the dynamics of economic trade between nations and complex issues of immigration and identity.

This is the perfect destination to study abroad and explore a unique Latin American country.
