  1. Fresno State Spanish Club Look through our window

  2. History of the Mexican culture • Ancient Mexico and Central America were home to some of the earliest and most advanced civilizations in the western hemisphere. • Mexican culture is a fascinating blend of Native American traditions and Spanish colonial influences. Long before the Spaniards arrived in the 16th century, the indigenous civilizations of Mexico had developed arts such as ceramics, music, poetry, sculpture, and weaving. • After the conquest, the intricate designs and bright colors of many Native American arts were often mixed with European techniques and religious themes to create a hybrid and uniquely Mexican artistic style.

  5. Cultural Exposure • Mexico • Population • 106,202,903 • Location • Middle America, bordering the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, between Belize and the US and bordering the North Pacific Ocean, between Guatemala and the US • Climate • Mexico's climate varies according to its topography. It is hot and humid along the coastal plains on both sides of the country, whereas at higher elevations such as Mexico City, the climate is drier and more temperate. The hot, wet season is May to October, with the hottest and wettest months falling between June and September over most of the country. December to February are the coolest months, when the winds can make northern Mexico chilly, with temperatures approaching freezing. • Study in Mexico • Mexico has continuously been a popular destination for U.S. students looking to study abroad, and ISA's Mexico study abroad program, established in 1989, has been witness to this increasing popularity with U.S students. The allure of Mexico as a study abroad destination can be attributed to numerous factors. Mexico's rich history and cultural diversity, spanning from its Mesoamerican beginnings and colonial heritage, are just a few of this country's alluring attributes. Mexico's diverse geography which includes rainforests, pristine beaches and mountain ranges also contributes to this country's popularity. Mexico's world-renowned academic, artistic and cultural contributions can be attributed to some of the oldest institutions of higher learning in Latin America. This prominent academic heritage can be seen at the University of Guanajuato, ISA's academic anchor for our study abroad programs in Mexico.
