Quotes from Querétaro alumni:

“My Spanish has definitely improved. I am a much more confident conversational speaker. I spoke the most Spanish at home with my host family.”

“The quality of instruction was amazing! My class was very small, so we were able to have a deep connection with the instructors and in turn the instructors were able to assist us better.”

"I feel so lucky to have had the host parents that I had during my time in Mexico. They were so kind, accommodating, open, and helpful. I feel so blessed to now have them in my life."
