There is no option for Mexico. It is certainly not in central or south america.
- superuser2 13y agoThere's SOUTH AMERICA and CENTRAL AMERICA at the bottom of the dropdown. Actually cheaper than for US students.
- huherto 13y agoThe issue is that Mexico is not in South or Central America. México is located in North America. http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/economies/Americas/Mexico.html http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/economies/Americas/Mexico... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America
- dragonwriter 13y agoCentral America is, by any of the definitions used, a region of North America, so "Mexico is in North America" does not support "Mexico is not in Central America", as being in Central America requires also being in North America. As most commonly defined (though there are exceptions, as in the UN geoscheme), Central America is North America south of Mexico, but that's not the only definition around.
- huherto 13y agoStill Mexico is not in Central America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_America http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_America
- superuser2 13y agoWhoops. Sorry, I was lumping it in with Spanish-speaking countries frequently in the news for similar reasons and forgetting my elementary school geography. In any case I would expect the cost to be similar to the estimate given for Central America, but that oversight should probably be reported to the calculator's developers.
- bayesianhorse 13y agoHey, in Mexico they speak Spanish, so Mexico must be somewhere in central or south America. Spain should be someplace down there, as well... Spoiler: I'm kidding.

- huherto 13y agoI am aware of that. That is a classification that the UN statistics division does for analysis purposes.
