Home to a slew of top-notch universities and more than twenty UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Mexico is an ideal place to study abroad. Some of history’s most famous civilizations built societies in Mexico, many of which can still be accessed and investigated by students today. Studying abroad in Mexico offers students a special opportunity to work in and travel to historical sites and cities that made this prominent country rise to power in ancient times.
