I gained a much higher level of confidence in my Spanish. Madi Stuart - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. The most frustrating this was that we'd go on our excursions, but the people wouldn't be on time.

To appreciate the material less and people more. Very worth it. A student - Texas A&M University - College Station View Entire Review
When you go abroad, you gain so much perspective on your own home country and way of life. Pura Vida is the motto of Costa Rica, and my host mom compared it to "hakuna matata" or essentially, don't worry. I loved getting to see that more laid back way of life, because it differs so greatly from the hustle and bustle of the US. I... Anne Russell - University of the Cumberlands View Entire Review
