Crossing Borders: Gender and Social Change in Mesoamerica Outside the Classroom

Reviewed by AnonymousStudentstudent on .

I learned both outside and inside the classroom. My beliefs and innate prejudices were challenged, and I believe this is the whole reason to attend college. There was also ample down time to continue my cross country training, seeing as the weather is 80 degrees year round and sunny. This program comes highly recommended, especially from a cross country runner's point of view! Read more

Crossing Borders: Gender and Social Change in Mesoamerica Mi Experiencia en mexico

Reviewed by ??? student on .

I experienced a variety of new endeavors here in Mexico. I enjoy being challenged and this program did just that. I was able to learn different perspectives and ways of life. There was a lot of repeated topics, and I wish we would have expanded more rather than stay focused on a few issues. CGE confirmed for me just how important it is to diversify yourself and your thoughts. THANKS CGE!!! Read more

Crossing Borders: Gender and Social Change in Mesoamerica It was a good program but could've improved on a few things.

Crossing Borders: Gender and Social Change in Mesoamerica Absolutely incredible

Reviewed by ibergstudent on .

This program went above and beyond my expectations. A combination of homestays, excursions, speakers, readings, and class discussion made this program a complete hands-on experience. I have never learned so much in one semester in my entire college career. This program gave me the opportunity to examine complex social, economic, and political issues in the US and in Mexico. I would highly recommend this program to anyone. Read more
