More about Mexico
During your exchange, you will witness firsthand many of Mexico’s religious and secular festivities, such as Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). While the setting of a cemetery may seem mournful, this holiday is actually a joyful celebration! In fact, you’ll find that vendors throughout the country sell candy and sweets in the form of human skeletons and skulls to mark the holiday.
Family life is very important to Mexican culture. Being invited into a Mexican home is a great honor, as the warmth and hospitality of the Mexican people are recognized and celebrated around the world. Mexican cuisine is renowned for the spices, as well as the colorful decorations and variety of delicious flavors – chilaquiles, pozoles, and tostadas are some of the few delicious foods you might try when you study abroad in Mexico!
