Mexico
"I encourage students to do a semester abroad at the UNAM. The university is excellent and focuses on the education of their students. I always felt like I was surrounded by talented teachers and students. Although Mexico City might have its darker sides, it is outstanding in the areas of culture, history, food and activities. Mexican hospitality and their willingness to open up to people from abroad especially stood out to me." (translated, 2019)
Famous for its Mayan and Aztec history and impressive architecture, Mexico is known as one of the six cradles of civilization. As the largest Spanish speaking country in Latin America, and a neighboring country to the United States, Mexico plays an important role as a regional power. The University of Göttingen has a central partnership with the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, in Mexico City.
