Why is this reaction considered exothermic?

"Concentrated sulfuric acid dissolves in water and the solution becomes warmer."
This is a homework question and when I answered the problem, I thought it was endothermic because the solution is gaining heat, but when my professor went over the problems in class, he said it was exothermic. Can someone please explain to me why this is considered exothermic?
