Ten Things I Learned While Studying Abroad in Mexico
Hola! My name is Michelle Leiby. I am a senior at UTArlington - majoring in Spanish with a minor in Mexican American studies. I had the pleasure of going to Cuernavaca for the 2007 Summer ll semester and had a wonderful time. I learned so much… here’s my top ten list.
1. I learned to wear comfortable shoes. It makes walking around the City of Eternal Spring all that MORE enjoyable
2. There are so many fabulous excursions, so make sure you bring your camera!
3. Class sizes are small - and the professors at SLI are friendly and approachable.
4. In the Cortez Palace there is a spectacular Diego Rivera Mural right in the center of town!
5. The town is full of internet cafes and you can keep in touch with family and friends!
6. Cuernavaca has a great open market and a great Wal-Mart too!
7. Peacocks abound at the Dolores Olmeda Estate/ Museum!
8. Long lasting friendships can develop with students, teachers, locals and house parents!
9. Every comida provided by mi familia was like Thanksgiving! (ps. my house parents were the best)
10.¡Gocé el ir a las fiestas en el Mambo Café con el Dr. Elliott! What happens in Cuernavaca stays in Cuernavaca!
