Great way to meet diverse people
I think the program with CIEE is a good experience to meet people from around the country. It’s nice to meet people who you would have never met before, and all have similar academic and career goals as yourself.

Your January in Mérida program lasts three weeks and is designed for students from all academic backgrounds. You will enroll in one CIEE course taught at CIEE Mérida. Enhance your experience with co-curricular and extracurricular activities while immersing yourself in Mexican culture. Live and learn in Mérida!
Mérida is Mexico’s vibrant city, celebrated for its warm climate and rich cultural heritage. January is the perfect time to experience the city’s charm with fewer crowds while exploring iconic landmarks like the Paseo de Montejo and the impressive Mayan ruins of Uxmal, and enjoying traditional festivities like the Carnaval de Mérida. Whether you are majoring in business, science, engineering, technology, communications, psychology, health sciences, liberal arts, language, or fine arts, Mérida is the perfect place to study abroad on winter break.
