Cross-cultural Differences:

Whenever you study abroad, you experience some culture shock. Here we present to you some tips to remember:

If you decide to stay with a Mexican family do not expect to find things and customs exactly as you have them at home. Be prepared for the fact that your host family might have a different style of living than you do.

In Mexico the schedule of meals may be different.

Major credit cards are accepted in Mexico. If you want you can use your credit card to get cash advances at the bank or at the ATM machines.

Always keep lines of communication open with your professors, classmates and members of your host family. In this manner, we will help you to immerse yourself in our language and culture.

Testimonial
"The Internship has been well worth it. I have been able to practice my Spanish every day. Now, I feel I have a better knowledge of Bilingual Schools and how they impact children at such a young age. The internship site is good because it offers a variety of age of children".
