year! Join us at the Iberoamericana University for a summer course, a semester, a year or to participate in our short term programs especially designed for students who want to learn and discover something new, enhance their language skills and have a good time. Why Mexico? Considered as one of the major economies of Latin America, Mexico is also the Latin American country that receives the highest amount of international students each year. Due to its geographical location, Mexico was able to develop strong links with its northern neighbors, Canada and the United States. Integration into NAFTA helped Mexico to offer first world attractions and services at a lower cost. Why Mexico City? With extensive cultural and historical sites, traditional festivals and events and world class entertainment places, Mexico City is undoubtedly one of the most interesting cities of the world. Mexico City, political and economic center of the country, enjoys a mild year-round climate and is an ideal starting place for exploring other parts of Mexico.
