Academic programs: Study in Mexico: testimonials
Comments from program participants
“The moment I got home, I realized that I had
changed in a great and powerful way.”
Undergraduate Social Work Student
"Mexico has opened doors for me that I did not
know existed. I was so interested in learning the Spanish language but
learning the culture and history of Mexico was fabulous. I loved the people
and made friends I will never forget."
Undergraduate Social Work Student
“The course empowered me and made me a believer
that retirement does not mean giving up my goals until every door is shut
tight.”
Retired Nurse
“I came away from this trip with a better understanding
and appreciation of Mexico and its people….I’m so glad I attended
the full 4-week course….I am also seriously considering being a
host to a foreign student because I now recognize the value of such a
cultural exchange.”
Undergraduate Agriculture Student
“I loved this kaleidoscopic crash course on Mexico.
Enlarging my world view makes me a better world citizen, another step
toward joining the village that raises the world.”
Teacher/Homemaker
“In addition to the notebook stuffed with
facts from all the speakers, in addition to (finally!) enough comprehension
of the free market process and globalization so that I can understand
articles about it and participate intelligently in activism here in the
United States, in addition to greater fluency in Spanish and motivation
to take a conversation course this fall, in addition to all these experiences—I
have a feeling that at some point I will be spending some of the rest
of my life living and working, somehow, in Mexico.”
