What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was worthwhile. I don't think I learned as much Spanish as I got credit for but I definitely learned a lot and it was great fun. I did not make very many Costa Rican friends and mostly hung out with other Americans but that was mainly my fault and not the program's.
