May 12 Trent University, Canada Trent University is located in Peterborough, Ontario, an hour and a half northeast of Toronto and about three hours from Ottawa. The University's Symons Campus sits on a 580-hectare property, much of it preserved as nature area, along both banks of the Otonabee River at the northern edge of the city. With just over 7,800 students in Peterborough and Oshawa, Trent is noted for internationally-respected faculty, globally-significant research, and world-class facilities. Moreover, students benefit from a greatly enhanced academic experience due to Trent’s ability to consistently deliver a meaningful, high-quality liberal undergraduate education in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.
May 26 Universidad Latina de America, Mexico Universidad Latina de America (UNLA) is a small liberal arts school located on the outskirts of Morelia, an urban city with a provincial atmosphere. Morelia is located halfway between Mexico City and Guadalajara in the beautiful central highlands. As courses are taught entirely in Spanish, going on exchange to UNLA is a great opportunity for Spanish majors and/or students who are especially proficient in Spanish.
