I learned to relax and enjoy the moments I had. Aemilii M - Winona State University View Entire Review
Seriously, go to Costa Rica with SOL. I went expecting a little fun and a lot of school, and I left having the time of my life (and 20 new best friends). It's the most well organized and fast-paced program I've ever been in, and everyone really cares. The program directors and host families I dealt with are not just there for a ...

That the world is such an incredible place where people are so different and at the same time share so much with one another. I really believe there is no better way to learn about oneself or culture then removing his/herself from his/her norm. Its worthwhile without a doubt. Lola O - University of California - Riverside View Entire Review
You seriously can't go wrong with SOL if you are wanting to study abroad. Costa Rica is an amazing country. The program directors for Sol in Costa Rica are amazingly helpful and super insightful about the country and life in general. Sol works with a great university with awesome teachers. My Spanish levels increased dramaticall... Cassie G - Worcester State University View Entire Review
an appreciation of the real--not touristy--Costa Rica! Jennifer R - Methodist University View Entire Review
I can do anything I put my mind to! I can travel across the world by myself, to a country that speaks a language that I do not speak, and I will survive! I learned to believe in myself and to take risks (singing karaoke, white-water rafting). Angela S - San Diego State University View Entire Review
I learned so much about the people, the culture, and myself! The opportunities we were given during our time in Costa Rica were unrivaled. A student - Berea College View Entire Review
I learned the social norms of Costa Rica and how different other peoples lives can be. Made new friends in Costa Rica and at Texas State University.

It was very exciting and humbling to experience a different culture! definitely worthwhile. i gained a new language as well as a new life perspective! Jessie R - Texas A&M - College Station View Entire Review
I learned so many things that it is impossible to share them all. It is always wonderful to expand your understanding of the world and gain an appreciation for another culture. It was definitely worthwhile. Heidi W - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
It was not only worthwhile but much needed. After going abroad, I feel every student should have the opportunity to do this. It is once in a life time and truly does change you Jeannie R - University of California - Los Angeles View Entire Review
I learned so much about the culture of Costa Rica and the spanish language. I learned a lot about myself and the kind of person I want to be. I gained friends that were costa rican and from the US. I learned about how other countries see the US and about how large/awesome/diverse the world is. Morgan G - Wagner College View Entire Review
"I think that my life is change permanently because I have had the chance to experience this with these people. Our director has bestowed upon us her wisdom and I have greatly appreciated being in the mist of such an incredible woman who has made it here mission to not only encourage us to get the traditional education but to al... A. W - Western Kentucky University View Entire Review
Try to keep an open mind even if it seems really hard sometimes. Do not be afraid to ask questions or "feel dumb". I have met so many new people who have already influenced me in just 1 semester like on the type of foods I eat, how I spend my time, the words I choose to use, etc. It was incredibly worthwhile! Alice R - Wayne State University View Entire Review
Through my experience with Sol in Costa Rica I feel much less patriotic about the arbitrary region that I was born in and am much more conscious about the planetary issues we are currently facing. Also, in my time here I have been inspired to add an Anthropology minor to my degree. Ivan L - Texas A&M University - College Station View Entire Review
Sol cares about you as a person, and not as a number. This was shown to me time and time again through how they found me the perfect host family that cared for me like their own child, the care put into the excursions and cultural activities, and the care my director had for our recommendations and us as people. She made custom ... Sierra E - University of Colorado - Colorado Springs View Entire Review
I learned how to prepare for international travel. I learned how to adapt to a different cultures hospitality codes. Cheryl T - Methodist University View Entire Review
The nature was beautiful, I made new friends (albeit all American), and I got to see what Costa Rican culture is like. The culture was surprisingly Americanized in many ways, so it didn't feel exotic or necessarily very exciting, but it was still authentically Costa Rican. I had a lot of fun there, and think it was a really posi... A student - Missouri State University View Entire Review
I gained language fluency, cultural knowledge, wonderful friends, and a world perspective. Peter H - University of Arkansas - Fayetteville View Entire Review
This was my first time travelling abroad by myself. I was very nervous but I had a good time and got to know everyone in the program because they only have a max of 25 students per session A student - Pembroke Pines Charter High School View Entire Review
I love Sol's Program because everything is included and very organized... the homestays, the excursions, and activities are all great and help to improve Spanish! My class size of 3 people and my wonderful professor were extremely beneficial. The directors here are all very knowledgeable and have helped me out with anything I ne... A student - The Catholic University of America View Entire Review
Was it worthwhile? YES! I learned so much about myself and my own character, I learned a lot about the culture and really just about how to love people. My Spanish was at a minimum going to Costa Rica, but through actions and facial expressions, I learned to love people through the language barrier. The whole experience left me ... A student - Worcester State College View Entire Review
My life has changed. I gained the Pura Vida attitude, a new family, new friends, and tons of new stories. Yes, it was so very much worthwhile. Sarah C - Lynchburg College View Entire Review
