Extra-Curricular Activities UAG offers many opportunities to exchange students that will increase their exposure to and understanding of the Mexican culture, people and lifestyle. Exchange students may use the sporting facilities at UAG, including a gymnasium, an Olympic-sized pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, a baseball diamond and numerous soccer fields. In addition, numerous student travel agencies cater to visiting students. While we do encourage you to take advantage of travel opportunities, we also caution you to make travel arrangements at times that will not interfere with your academic responsibilities. Recreational travel should be carried out during vacation and holiday time.
Some students plan most of their travel after the conclusion of their academic experience.
Costs for such travel are the responsibility of the student. Housing While in Guadalajara, you may stay with a local family. Living with a Mexican family will give you great insight into the Mexican culture and will also give you more opportunity to improve your Spanish language skills. UAG interviews and supervises local Mexican families who want to host international students and can make a family assignment before you arrive. While some host families live nearby, the commuting time for others may be about 30 minutes one-way by bus.
