Travel to and within Mexico

Students are reimbursed for the actual cost of a round trip ticket to and from Mexico up to $500. Since students will be coming from a wide range of U.S. (and world) destinations, there will be no single departure city. Instead, students will meet at the Benito Juárez Airport in Mexico City on the date specified for the beginning of the program and will be transported by shuttle to the program hotel. Students arriving on other days or by other means of transport will meet at the hotel itself.

As part of the orientation in Mexico City, students will visit significant cultural and historic sites in the “Distrito Federal” and surrounding areas, such as the pyramids of Teotihuacán, the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the murals of Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, and major museums. Students also take part in multi-day excursions to Cuetzalan and Oaxaca (Fall), and/or Guanajuato and Veracruz (Sping)—together with other sites in the Puebla area.  Students should keep in mind that independent travel must not interfere with required course work and class attendance.
