Description

Spend your summer studying at Universidad Internacional, ranked by the New York Times as one of the top language schools in the world. On Summer in Mexico, opportunities abound for you to immerse yourself in Mexican culture, make international friends, and learn Spanish in and out of the classroom. You'll experience:

* The legendary climate - Cuernavaca was nicknamed the City of Eternal Spring by Alexander von Humboldt in the 19th century. If you're looking for the perfect place to spend your summer, this is it. You will enjoy blue-sky days and temperatures that rarely deviate from the mid-70s.

* Spanish language classes, field trips, and intercultural activities - As a study abroad student on Summer in Mexico, your educational experience will encompass a wide variety of opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.

* Small language classes and individualized academic attention - By small, we mean no more than 5 students! You will have individualized academic attention throughout your coursework.

* A fashionable, contemporary city - Gated haciendas, nightlife, and glamorous architecture have helped establish Cuernavaca as a beautiful, cosmopolitan city. But if you need a change of pace while you're there, Mexico City - one of the largest, most energetic cities in the world - is only about an hour away.

* A robust social scene on campus - Summer in Mexico offers international students many social opportunities. You can join an organization and meet other students through sports, cooking classes, a language conversation club, or dance classes. There are enough clubs and activities to keep you engaged for year, never mind the summer.

* Amazing excursions at no extra cost - Summer in Mexico includes 2 day trips outside of Cuernavaca.
