More fun than a barrel of spider monkeys. Because in reality, that situation actually sounds like it would be a bit terrifying.

Going to school in Mexico for a semester is definitely far from the worst thing you could do with your life. The people are very nice and welcoming and there's a lot to do and experience. There is some beautiful architecture in the area and the program goes on many excursions to various historic sites, including haciendas and a good variety of ruins. It's pretty fascinating to be able to apply the history that you're learning in the classroom to its real-life counterpart. That, and climbing thousand year-old ruins is actually pretty sweet.
