Students took English as a Second Language on top of three university-transfer classes related to their program of study.
For Bayron Frenel, who was one of the students to come up for Mexican Mobility, that program is web graphic design.
“It’s always good to have a second language and to be able to learn is obviously a good thing,” he explains.
“As for the web graphic design, that will definitely help me in my future studies so they were very helpful.”
Frenel says it’s an experience he won’t soon forget.
“I really got to feel like they want to teach me and to give me knowledge, it felt great.”
