I have learned to value what I have back in the states and the education I received in my home institution. Celida R - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My experience abroad has made me so much more aware of what is going on on the other side of the border. I love Mexico and Mexican culture and the Spanish language. It had a huge impact on me and my career goals. I have a strong desire to return to Mexico or Latin America and to work with Latino immigrants in the US because of...

The culture between college students is different from what we are used to and that in itself makes is a great experience to seeing things in a new light. Jessica G - Smith College View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was definately worth while. I learned a lot about Mexican culture and improved my Spanish. In fact, I have recently moved back to Puebla after graduating. Erika K - Oberlin College View Entire Review
I loved my abroad experience so much that when I graduated from college I moved back to Puebla for another two years. While I was abroad, I learned another language and I fell in love with another culture. This has impacted the career and personal choices I have been making. A student - Oberlin College View Entire Review
The experience was definitely worthwhile. Mexico is an incredible place and PMCSP provides an excellent opportunity for students to take classes at the University which leads to great language acquisition and creates a better understanding of daily life in Puebla. Anna K - Macalester College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile to learn Spanish. That was my main goal and immersion is necessary to achieve that goal. It definitely made me realize that I hold some prejudices that I did not even know I could have. It was also a good respite from the rigors of Wellesley. It worked with my budget as well. Dorthea D - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a ton about Mexican culture and really changed many of my views about the importance of family/friendship. I had truly beautiful experiences and especially appreciated the chance to have discussions/debates with Mexican students about politics or activism. It was totally worthwhile and I would love to return to Puebl... Terra S - Wellesley College View Entire Review
The experience was worthwhile, without a doubt. Some things happened that I expected, like gaining a new perspective on the world, some things happened that didn't surprise me but I hadn't thought about, like being singled out for my looks, and some things happened that I completely did not expect, like coming back with two com... Stephanie Newton N - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. It really went beyond the academics, and, for me, became about experiencing something completely different than anything I had experienced before. The greatest thing that the study-abroad experience will give you is relationships with wonderful people that, otherwise, you wou... Kristina M - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes! I gained a lot of cultural perspective and confidence in myself. My experience made me more thoughtful, curious, self-sufficient, and linguistically skilled. I have memories that I will hold onto forever. I am so glad I lived in Mexico as a student. Anna M - Smith College View Entire Review
YES! Claire S - Hamilton College View Entire Review
My main goal was to learn Spanish and I accomplished this but also so much more! I met some truly amazing people and gained an invaluable insight into Mexican culture which has really shaped how I think about Mexico and the relationship between our countries. Ryann M - Oberlin College View Entire Review
I am more confident and independent. Sara S - Hobart and William Smith Colleges View Entire Review
I learned to be more independent. It was a unique experience that I will always have the memory and lessons I learned from it. It helped me become more aware of different cultures and how people in different countries live so differently from the USA. It helped my love of Hispanic culture grow and lead me to be able to teach ... Elisabeth S - Wheaton College View Entire Review
I learned that moving to a completely different country is do-able. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
The program itself and it's personnel are superb. I just didn't like my too easy courses and didn't "click" with my host family. But it was worthwhile, and the excursions were a great learning experience for me. Jacqueline M - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I can't say that my academic plans have changed. I went to Mexico because it already fit into my academic interests. I have always been fascinated by Mexico-US relations so PMCSP was perfect! I just found it fascinating to see the cultural differences on the other side of the border. I was looking forward to it so long and I can... Briana C - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Very worthwhile. I have much respect and admiration for Mexico's rich culture and people after this program. Madeline W - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was wonderful! I felt like I wasn't just a tourist, like I had a place where I belonged, and people who got to know me and care about me. Miriam P - Wellesley College View Entire Review
