OTERO-GOMEZ, María Cristina; GIRALDO-PEREZ, Wilson  and  SANCHEZ-LEYVA, José Luis. The international academic mobility: students experiences from Villavicencio, Colombia and Coatzacoalcos, México. Hallazgos [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.30, pp.177-196. ISSN 1794-3841.  https://doi.org/10.15332/1794-3841.2018.0030.08.

The following article introduces the empirical results from an extension project whose objective was to identify and analyze the perceptions of 16 students from the University of Los Llanos from Colombia and the Universidad Veracruzana from México, about their experiences as participants in an international Academic Mobility Process. Starting from collected data by means of structured interviews, we could infer that the most significant aspect in their experience was their contact with another culture, and at a personal level, young people outstand the autonomy, the capacity of adaptation and teamwork.

Keywords : the students experience; internationalization; student mobility.
