It is impossible to explain. Think Simba from the Lion King living with Timon and Pumbaa but real! Hakuna Matata has nothing on Pura Vida! Joycelyn W - University of Houston View Entire Review
Absolutely. I learned so much spanish, the importance of being a global citizen, how to drink properly, and so much more. Caroline B - The Catholic University of America View Entire Review
What didn't I gain!? Friends, family, language, culture, knowledge, experience, travel, and so much!! Shelby J - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
I learned a lot more about the spanish language and practiced all of my spanish every day. It was definitely worthwhile and rewarding Heather W - Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review
It was well worth it. I made really good friends, both anglo's and latino's, that I still keep in contact with. I valued my time that I spent with the language overall. There's so much beauty outside of the boarders of the U.S. Also, I learned to appreciate certain freedoms and priviledges I have in the U.S. in contrast to Costa... Terrell G - Salem State University View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile, it made me realize that I appreciate the diversity of cultures and the beauty that is found within each culture. Jenny A - University of Texas - San Antonio View Entire Review
I definitely improved my Spanish through this program and had a wonderful experience with my host mom as well as the other American student I was housed with. I think the Sol program is particularly tailored to the student who hasn't travelled as much in the past, although there were many of us who had international travel exper... Julia M - Occidental College View Entire Review
I learned about Costa Rica, the world, and myself through studying abroad with SOL. Participating in this program was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life! Jade C - Missouri State University View Entire Review
Oh lord, I gained/learned so much. About myself, my place in the world, about how many opportunities there are for joy and happiness and trying new things in the world. I learned about how my country looks from a distance, and I learned which direction I would like to lead my life. Thank you Jessenia, Janiva, Esteban, Brent, the... Ben C - University of Mary Washington View Entire Review
I gained so much knowledge about nature and culture and I love it. I believe that studying in Costa Rica will give me life long useful knowledge that can be applied to anything. I now follow the "Pura Vida" lifestyle and I have never been so free and relaxed! Carly K - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
everything. a new language. a new understanding of minority. Leah S - Eckerd College View Entire Review
I learned more than just what I was taught in the classroom. It fed my passion and my brain while immersing me in a culture that I fell in love with. I gained real world knowledge I couldn't have gained any other way. It was more than worthwhile. A student - Eastern Kentucky University View Entire Review
be more prepared lucas.c.mcclure - Texas State University-San Marcos View Entire Review
I learned to not assume that everyone has the same meantality/thoughts as me and to communicate more effectively! This trip is worthwhile. My host mom and I still keep in contact!! Aaliyah Amor J - Michigan State University View Entire Review
Learned what it is like to be a minority and a ton of good speaking skills. Yes A student - Missouri State University View Entire Review
While abroad in Costa Rica I gained a lot more than I had expected to. I have been studying Spanish for 15 years, but had never really been forced to us it. I am now more confident in my Spanish language skills, and want to speak Spanish all the time! During my time abroad, I was also able to find my passion. I had always qu... Anna M - Eastern Kentucky University View Entire Review
In Costa Rica, I learned that I am truly a global citizen. I never felt more connected to humanity than I did when I was in Costa Rica. I learned that there is no such thing as a perfect country, study abroad program, or life. I gained the ability to find similarities between myself and the people around me. Lastly. I learned th... Avonelle D - Seton Hall University View Entire Review
I learned a lot more spanish and gained an appreciation for cultures who live more simplistic compared to the American lifestyle. Morgan S - University of Houston View Entire Review
I became very appreciative of my life at home and that some people you meet from around the U.S. are not the best people. A student - Winona State University View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile! It's a great first study abroad experience, but I think if you've been abroad many times and/or are above an intermediate level, you won't get as much out of it. Mita C - Texas A&M University - College Station View Entire Review
Sol education had so many activities I will never forget! From white water rafting to touring beautiful cities I had the time of my life! Sara S - Illinois Wesleyan University View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself, my ability and lack there of to plan and explore. Also the country's values and cultural ways. Sharlett T - Missouri State University View Entire Review
One of the best decisions I've made in my life. I will treasure the memories of my time in Costa Rica with SOL forever. I learned a lot about love, community, compassion, people, and this earth we inhabit. My Spanish reached levels beyond what I expected. The word "worthwhile" doesn't even get close to what was gleaned through t... Emily R - Winona State University View Entire Review
