I have made the most of weekends and holidays by visiting the country and seeing all types of sceneries. Studying in Mexico has been a perfect way to complement my studies in France, associating two very different types of teaching and cultures.”

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.”

International student from Germany

2019, Dual Degree Program

Although I have only spent one semester at UDLAP, I am sure it has been a very valuable experience. In these last four months,

I learned a lot about culture and people of Mexico, other countries and myself as well. I also made friendships with

some people I had never met before coming to Mexico, but with whom I will remain friends for many years, if not all my life. The

stereotypes that I had of Mexico made me doubt, but my time in Cholula and UDLAP convinced me that Mexico is a country rich in

culture, nature and people. Therefore, I have only one thing left to say: Mexico, I hope to see you again soon.

International student from USA

2019, Regular exchange

My experience in Mexico was exceptional. In fact, courses at UDLAP are very different from the courses in France. Professors teach us how to think independently, they help us develop our communication skills, and to feel comfortable speaking in public. During my long weekends, I was also able to visit and discover this beautiful country which is full of magnificent landscapes, atypical places, friendly people and food. For me, UDLAP was the best place to make my exchange, I couldn’t dream of a better experience.

International student from France

2019, Regular exchange

My time at UDLAP has been a great opportunity for personal growth and experiencing a new culture. I have been able to approach classes from a new perspective and have gotten to know people from different cultural backgrounds. UDLAP is a great place to get to know Mexico and get involved with the community. There are plenty of opportunities for travel and community service.
