Lots of activities outside of classes
May 10, 2019by: Joe - United StatesOverall, I thought the program was good! Not much time is spent in classes, but there are a lot of mandatory talks and activities outside of classwork. A lot really good speakers that show non-dominant voices that are often not heard
How CGEE failed students of color
May 10, 2019by: Student556 - United StatesI overall hard I very great experience in Cuernavaca. The main issues that I had while studying abroad was with students and staff. There were a lot of students and staff that weren't culturally aware.
Social work in a Latin American context
May 10, 2019by: emmaerie - United StatesI loved my time here in Mexico, being able to continue my major without getting behind, continuing Spanish as well as having the opportunity for an internship. Among all of this we had the opportunity to be immersed in the culture of Cuernavaca and live with incredible families from Cuernavaca. Its a program with A LOT of opportunity.
