“From the moment that I arrived at udlap I was embraced with warmth. I have the best room-mate who has become my sister and I know that I will have the friends that I have made here for life. I have only been here for a little over a month and already coming to Mexico to study is the best decision that I have ever made. I don’t ever want to leave. The Mexican hospitality is over-whelming, the food is delicious, and the classes and professors at udlap are brilliant. I couldn’t think of a better place to come.”
