"My time in Mérida was the best adventure"

Emma Tiller

I stayed with a host family who lived within walking distance to the school so my roommate and I walked to class everyday. It was such a great neighborhood we always felt comfortable. The school was great, our teachers were very friendly and outgoing and the other faculty was really kind as well. I felt like I really improved my Spanish and also just had a lot of fun! I was studying here with a university study abroad group so we all had off-campus housing, staying with host families. Often many students’ families couldn’t always take them to school or where we needed to go, but the director of the school, Miguel, was extremely hospitable and would always make sure we got where we needed to go. He really helped us a lot through the trip and did a wonderful job making us all feel welcome and safe! I would love to go back anytime and I recommend this to anyone.

"A great cultural abroad experience with lots of learning involved."

Mariah LaFore

I loved my overall experience in Mérida. I miss it so much. The location was so close to my host family that it made walking super easy, however, i know that wasn’t the same for everyone. I appreciated Miguel’s hard work accommodating for everyone and making sure everyone was provided for every day. The classrooms had the essentials and good air flow with the windows open! I enjoyed all of my teachers and the class work we did inside. I wasn’t assigned a lot of homework, which i appreciated because homework would have taken away from my cultural experience. I loved all the cool activities I got to do and the places we got to see. I ate a ton of great food as well. Overall, LOVED
