  • Diana Arízaga, Mexico Resident Director

  • WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT BEING A RESIDENT DIRECTOR?
  • Being part of a transformation. Observing how students process information and appropriate other cultures without even realizing they are doing it.
  • WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING STUDENTS LEARN IN MEXICO?
  • Patience, to be more flexible, realizing there is life beyond the U.S. and the different pace of life.
  • WHAT IS ONE LITTLE-KNOWN FACT ABOUT MEXICO?
  • Contrary to popular belief, The Mayan decline does not mean they have disappeared! The Mayan culture, language and traditions are very much alive and kicking.
  • WHAT'S THE GREATEST THING ABOUT STUDYING IN MÉRIDA?
  • Mérida and the Yucatán are about the safest places in the world. Our students feel very secure and comfortable here.
  • WHAT'S THE MOST AMAZING PLACE YOU'VE EVER VISITED?
  • Katmandu in Nepal and the Galapagos Islands.
  • WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE NOT BUSY WORKING WITH STUDENTS?
  • I travel, which is my absolute passion. I also like to read a good book, cook for friends, share a great conversation and eat. There is nothing like having a fresh ceviche by the ocean!
