Victoria Elizabeth Hendren, Winter Break 2017 Participant
Be prepared to move around a lot, and the trip is very fast paced. Enjoy it while it last.

Winter Break 2014 Participant
Variety - We did so many different activities while we were there. We were able to explore the country in so many different ways, and I really feel like I gained an intimate knowledge of Costa Rica, its culture, and its business climate.

Winter Break 2017 Participant
I really enjoyed the many different cultural activities and the fact that we didn't do extremely touristy things. We got to meet hard working individuals and really see how they survive in Costa Rica.
