Winter Break 2024 Participant
The most rewarding part of the trip for me was hearing about how firms in Costa Rica are working to create a cleaner and better country in which the people can live.

Winter Break 2024 Participant
My favorite part of studying abroad in Costa Rica was really getting to immerse myself in Costa Rican culture. We encountered so many great locals, tourists, and guides, like our tour guide, who were able to tell us personal stories and helpful information about the area. We visited many local restaurants, family-owned business, and several different small businesses. I also learned a great amount of Spanish, and was finding myself learning how to correctly communicate with the locals and our tour guide. I also fell in love with many of the beautiful sites we visited, like stunning examples of architecture, as well as scenic landscapes like waterfalls, volcanoes, and beaches. It was amazing to see how other people in the world live, communicate, and grow together in such a beautiful and healthy atmosphere.

I recommend enjoying each day and speaking up if something in particular interests you since the tours are very flexible and cater to your wants and needs.
