5 Bridge the World Why BCA Xalapa? I am delighted that you are considering joining us here in beautiful Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico! You will find many opportunities for adventure and growth: academically, personally, and in developing your own special relationship with Mexico and its people. Xalapa (also spelled Jalapa) is a charming colonial city in the mountains above Mexico s Gulf Coast, and is capital of the state of Veracruz. Xalapa s climate is temperate and humid, perfect for the verdant vegetation that surrounds the city, earning its nickname, The City of Flowers. The city s narrow winding streets and colonial architecture make it a beautiful and romantic city to explore. Views of the surrounding mountains, including the snow-capped Pico de Orizaba, abound. A small extinct volcano marks the highest point in the large, green park of Macuiltepec. Surrounding colonial towns and natural areas make for great day trips, and have been popular filming spots for Hollywood. You will be living not just in beautiful settings, but in a vibrant cultural and artistic environment as well! Both the university and the state government have put an emphasis on cultural development in the city, resulting in a vast array of cultural and artistic activities, from art galleries to musical venues, theater troupes, folklore ballet, one of the best symphonic orchestras in Latin America, world class museums... the list goes on. Add to this the youthful college atmosphere of the town, the countless cafés and restaurants, parks, and lakes, and you could not find a more enchanting place to spend a semester! Not all learning occurs in the city: we will also explore other areas of Mexico. Weekend excursions might include enjoying the Caribbean atmosphere of the port city of Veracruz, ecological tourism at a rural community in the Tuxtla Mountains, or a long weekend in northern Veracruz, spending time with local university students, visiting archaeological and historical sites, and enjoying a bonfire on the beach! BCA offers more sponsored excursions than any other study abroad program in Mexico: just another way to help you understand this fascinating country! You will live with host families in Xalapa, providing total immersion into the Spanish language and Mexican culture. This will allow you to break down barriers in language and culture that would endure with a less intensive experience. Making Mexican friends, both in the Escuela para Estudiantes Extranjeros (EEE) Cultural Immersion program and in regular classes, is another important part of the BCA Mexico experience. Of course, throughout the time you are here you will have the personal attention of the resident director. I have lived in Mexico and Xalapa for nearly twenty years now, and have a doctorate in anthropology, specializing in Mexican archaeology. In fact, in addition to being your resident director, I am also a professor within the anthropology department of the university! It is my pleasure to introduce you to Mexico, to its culture and society, its reality and its potential to take you off the gringo trail in order to discover the real Mexico. I hope this gives you a clearer idea of what BCA has to offer in Mexico. Espero verte pronto en México! Dr. Robert Kruger BCA Xalapa Resident Director 4
6 Connect to Learning Overview Suggested Areas of Study Spanish Anthropology Archaeology Business Administration Biology History Art Music Language Requirement: 4 semesters of college-level Spanish or equivalent are required. The professor really cared about his students and structured the class based on what the students had trouble with and/or wanted to learn. Katie Appleby, Elizabethtown College (on class Español Intensivo VI) Depending on your Spanish language proficiency, you may take either regular university courses at the University of Veracruz (UV) or courses designed for foreign students at the Escuela para Estudiantes Extranjeros (EEE). In addition, all BCA Xalapa students can take BCA s social justice course taught by the resident director, Dr. Robert Kruger, SOC375: Street Children and Popular Education: A Participative Approach. University of Veracruz The University of Veracruz is the most prestigious university in the state of Veracruz and one of the top five public universities in Mexico. It houses 35 departments (offering more than 75 undergraduate degrees), 22 centers of research, a foreign language center, a school for foreign students, a children s music education center, athletic facilities, and a library with an information services system.

9 Connect to Culture Nestled in the foothills of an extinct volcano, at an altitude of over 4,000 feet, Xalapa is located in the Sierra Madre mountains in East-central Mexico. Known as the City of Flowers, Xalapa features green parks and well-manicured plazas set against the backdrop of the snow-capped Pico de Orizaba. City Life Xalapa was established in 1313 as a market town and boasts fine examples of colonial architecture. Now home to 600,000 people, Xalapa is the capital and cultural center for the state of Veracruz. The city hosts an extraordinary number of cultural treasures, including an internationally renowned symphony orchestra, folklore ballet and anthropology museum. Art galleries, theaters and cafés offering live music provide plenty of entertainment. The university and the city of Xalapa offer a multitude of activities ranging from the cultural to the social. The small-city atmosphere provides easy access to museums, musical and cultural events, as well as the friendliness of a close-knit community. In addition, Xalapa is surrounded by lush mountains dotted with charming colonial-style towns and villages and just an hour drive to coastal beaches. Housing, Meals and Transportation Host Families: conversations you have with your familia Mexicana will present you with an excellent opportunity to learn about the culture. Meals: host families provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. Local Transportation: buses, taxis; everything in Xalapa is in walking distance. Sports Facilities BCA students have discount access to the University s sports facilities, including gyms, athletic tracks, tennis courts, fitness rooms, open-air sport areas, and soccer fields. Students may also choose to join any of the numerous gyms in the city that offer a wide range of facilities for reasonable fees. I think Mexico is a great program because it s so easy to get plugged in with the native population, and you don t end up spending all your time with other foreign students. Jeff Yoder, Goshen College Excursions Included in the program fee, educational excursions offer an exciting way to examine important global issues affecting the local people and environment. Destinations may change and vary by semester, but can include a few of the following locations: Mexico City Pre-Hispanic city of Teotihuacan La Antigua: a quaint town founded by Hernán Cortés Puebla and Tlaxcala: traditional Mexican cities with distinctive histories and flavors Port City of Veracruz Archaeological site of El Tajín and the Costa Esmeralda beaches Cuetzalan: an indigenous town nestled in the mountains Ecotourism in the Tuxlta Mountains Yucatán Peninsula, Chiapas region, and colonial cities of Central Mexico (spring only) 8
10 Bridging The World Come to Xalapa! If you can handle the freedom and really want to be immersed in Mexican culture, this is an excellent program. Adin Vaewsorn, Wesleyan University Act What Mattered to me student experiences in Xalapa The learning and Spanish didn t end in the classroom, it continued in the streets with native Spanish speakers, hearing Spanish everywhere, and having to use it outside of class to communicate and practice. Emily Michael, Malone University Connecting to culture I had an amazing experience here in Mexico and am glad that I decided to try something different. Katie Appleby, Elizabethtown College 9
11 Housing was amazing because I had a lovely family that was more than willing to help me linguistically and socially. If I needed clarification on culture or just someone to talk to they were more than happy to help. Meagan Floyd, Juniata College Where I am now Working at MATRACA restored my passion for a career with Hispanic/Latino populations in Health Promotion and Prevention. Being there was a reminder that I am right where I need to be, pursuing an education that I know is right for me. I can t wait to call myself a Certified Health Education Specialist. Emily Michael, Malone University [Teaching English] was the best part of my experience in Mexico. I looked forward to teaching the students everyday and they also were willing to teach me things. It made me realize that I might want to teach English someday. Jeff Yoder, Goshen College If there s anything I can say about Mexico it is that words don t do it justice. It s a giant, complicated, art-filled, musical, friendly, traditional, ever-changing, troubled, beautiful country with so much to offer and so much to learn from. Adin Vaewsworn, Wesleyan University 10
