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.”

Academic Exchange
My time in Mexico could be considered as one of the best experiences of my life. Fun, Friends and Food are a few words that could describe my 5 months in this wonderful and exciting country and at the beautiful UDLAP. Studying at UDLAP was also extremely enjoyable. The campus provides a great environment for students and all the staff and students were very welcoming and friendly. I will never forget my stay in Mexico and my time at UDLAP, I have made some of my best friends, tried some of the most amazing food ever and more than anything enjoyed myself more than is humanly possible.
My experience in Mexico was exceptional. In fact, courses at UDLPA are very different from the courses in France. Professors teach us how to think independently. They help us develop our communications 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 place.
