I had 4 different teachers during the month, and I was favorably impressed by each one. They were flexible and understanding and whenever I asked to review or discuss a topic it was done immediately. I considered them to be friends as much as teachers. The physical atmosphere was very pleasant. The school is in an attractive section of Mérida, the class rooms are well lighted, and overhead fans keep the temperature comfortable.
