Climate

México'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.

It was 4 of the most amazing months of my life. I made some amazing friendships and learned so much- not only about culture, but about myself.

México has continuously been a popular destination for U.S. students looking to study abroad, and ISA's México study abroad program, established in 1989, has been witness to this increasing popularity with U.S students. The allure of México as a study abroad destination can be attributed to numerous factors.

México's rich history and cultural diversity, spanning from its Mesoamerican beginnings and colonial heritage, are just a few of this country's alluring attributes. México's diverse geography which includes rainforests, pristine beaches and mountain ranges also contributes to this country's popularity.

México'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 both the University of Veracruz and the University of Guanajuato, the academic centers for ISA's study abroad programs in México.
