It was worthwhile. I learned the world is much bigger than I thought. Alysh Oetzel - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review
patience gratitude new level of fluency with Spanish Austin J - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review
This experience changed my life and how I look at the world. As my first time living in a foreign country, it taught me that the American way of living is not universally considered the best way to live. I learned that I can live off of a lot less than what I'm used to, and that it's possible to be happy without all the luxuries... Ashley A - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review

I learned about myself, I learned that the world is huge even though sometimes, in situations it can be a small place, traveling is amazing, people do amazing things, anything is possible.

Always Have Expectations But Never Expect Them To Turn Out Exactly The Way You Want Them To.
I learned a lot about independence. I also decided that I want to use my nursing degree to help others out in either Costa Rica or another country in Latin America. Staci S - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
It was most definitely worthwhile. I learned about different cultures (not only the Costa Rican culture) by meeting people from different countries all over the world, advanced my language skills and made life-long friends.

I learned that I can EASILY be away from everything i know! It was such an experience, I cannot stop talking about going back. Lexie L - Western Washington University View Entire Review
Though Costa Rica may not be Paris, Barcelona, or the United States that's not why you're there!!! Rainforest? Dry forest? Caribbean? Pacific? Snorkel? Bungee Jump? Zipline? Fruits for days, freshest smoothies and juices, gallo pinto and platanos -- that's why you're there. The field trips I took through Universidad VERITAS f...
