Summer study abroad

by: Amy - United StatesProgram: IFSA Summer in Mexico

This was a great option to study abroad and gain skills speaking Spanish for the summer. I could not take a whole semester to go abroad and I saw and learned so many amazing things in Merida and the surrounding area. Between Mayan ruins, to museums, to cenotes, and a 4 day trip to Cuba, they kept us busy and it was definitely a worthwhile experience.
