The lively city is located in the southeast of Mexico and at the Caribbean Sea. Find out why studying at Anáhuac Cancun University is the perfect choice for a semester abroad!
1. Quality of Education
Anáhuac Cancun University is ranked #3 Best University and #1 Best private University in Mexico. Anáhuac Cancun University has highly competent professionals and innovative teaching methods to transform students into international, positive action leaders. One of Anáhuac’s strategic lines for their five-year plan is to be accredited and evaluated with academic excellence at national and international levels. Besides that, they want to position the institution as the International University of Mexico and the Caribbean. You should study at Anáhuac Cancun University if you are a high achiever!
2. Beautiful beaches
Cancun is a popular travel destination because of its white-sand beaches and turquoise sea. There’s a great variety of beautiful beaches that will fit your preference.
If you like to spend your time reading books and relaxing at the beach, Playa Chac Mool is worth visiting. Are you’re more into partying with friends and having drinks at beach clubs? You should plan a trip to Playa del Carmen then! From Cancun-city to Playa del Carmen it takes around a 1-hour drive by car. That’s why it is the perfect weekend getaway for students.
3. Tropical climate
Another good reason to study in Cancun is because of the tropical climate. Living in a country with average temperatures between 23-30 °C all year long will make it feel like a never-ending summer. In addition to that, Cancun counts around 70% rain-free days. The rainy season in Mexico runs from late August to November. Luckily, most rainfalls will only last a few hours.

Mexican’s most famous food is tacos with a tasty salsa. Do you like spicy food? And you love beans, corn, avocados, and chile peppers that make your tongue burn?

A must-try is Jericalla. I’m sure the custard, cinnamon, and vanilla flavors will surprise you in a good way.
5. Interesting culture
If you apply for a semester abroad in Cancun, make sure you’re ready to pick up some unexpected Mexican habits. Spending time with local students will make you do it.

6. Wonderful sea life
Spectacular marine life and the second largest barrier reef make Cancun a dreamlike place for scuba diving. Due to the shallow waters, Cancun is an excellent place for both professional and beginner divers. If you want to make it extra spectacular, we recommend checking out MUSA. It’s a unique underwater experience that will show you the ocean in a way you have never seen before.
