I gained personal growth and learned that life is worth living, not worrying so much about the time but appreciating what you have now and be present , be in the moment, because life will pass you by, therefore just go for it and live. Amanda D - Worcester State College View Entire Review
The fact that I from a country where teenagers and children do not really cherish information and want to learn does not mean that people in other countries do the same. I was extremely suprised and happy that they cared about what my CARE LLC group had to talk about. Denise C - Cedar Crest College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the culture and the people in Costa Rica. It was a very relaxing and beautiful country and the people were so kind. I can't wait to go back. Demi B - Cedar Crest College View Entire Review
How people live differently but are just as satisfied with life, Spanish, and how absolutely beautiful the planet is. It was so worth it. Secunda J - University of Houston View Entire Review
I learned how to speak Spanish, gained invaluable friends, and learned about what it was like to live in a more or less impoverished country with a family. Also, the biological differences in produce and environment were astounding! Totally interesting and worthwhile! I saw monkeys and plants with leaves bigger than me! Benjamin C - University of Massachusetts Amherst View Entire Review
When I look back on my experience abroad ten years from now, I'm sure I'll still be thankful for the opportunity. I may not remember the coursework or the frustrations, but I know I'll remember things like standing 5 feet away from howler monkeys, talking with my roommate, and laughing with my host family. I learned so much abou... sun.summer.travel - n/a View Entire Review

I could not have ask... michelle.grzybowski.3 - Texas A&M - College Station View Entire Review
I gained friends that will be with me forever. I gained a new family that i will love for ever. I learned how to speak spanish. Logan M - University of Arkansas - Fayetteville View Entire Review
The trip made me realize the world around me and expand my horizon from not only Texas but to the world and see different ways people live. but it also helped me realize that no matter where you are from, kids aren't that different and people can bond over anything and become friends! Mariah M - Saint Mary's High School / St. Mary's View Entire Review

Saying yes to new experiences: from food, to locations, new forms of thinking, meeting new people, and doing dare devil stunts. Esther R - University of Texas - San Antonio View Entire Review
I learned the most from my experience abroad, that a little bit can do alot. I was part of a service project that helped teen girls learn about sexual health education, and also helped provide resources to teen moms. It was an enlightening experience, and definitely helped define what I plan on doing in the future. Natalia M - Cedar Crest College View Entire Review
I gain knowledge and a few new friends. The best part was the new family I made. Devilsthrill - University of Houston View Entire Review
Yes it was worthwhile. It made me realize there is so much more to life. Americans can be very arrogant and in order to communicate effectively you have to humble yourself and learn someone else's point of view. Monica Z - Texas A&M - College Station View Entire Review
Very worthwhile. I wanted to improve my Spanish, first and foremost, and I am sure that I did so. I gained invaluable speaking experience, being immersed in Latin American culture on a daily basis. Jordi P - Quest University Canada / Outbound View Entire Review
I learned everything from the language and culture to who I really was. It was a trip in which I really learned a lot about myself. Ian S - Boston University View Entire Review

Better language skills, appreciation of a new culture, new friends, a love of fried plantains with queso, how to cook new foods - it was absolutely worthwhile. emily.s.lyons - Texas State University-San Marcos View Entire Review
I learned where i will travel when I go back to Costa Rica. I believed that study abroad is a great experience, but the actual school ruined my experience jaime c - Texas State University-San Marcos View Entire Review
This truly was an irreplaceable experience. My Spanish language abilities and understanding of Latin America increased drastically, and I was able to meet amazing people with whom I traveled to unforgettable places. SOL offers a balance of hand-holding and independence, where they expose you to guided Costa Rican travel on the w... A student - University of California - Los Angeles View Entire Review
Learned more about myself and how I operate. Learned more about being with other people and adapting, and learned a great language. Learned that school can be fun and engaging and not standardized. Rachel D - Anderson High School View Entire Review
I'm fearless now. I'm so much more open-minded. I feel like I can conquer any struggle in my life because nothing is scarier than being dropped into a country, into a HOUSE, where your language isn't the primary. Nothing tests your wits better than that. It was completely worthwhile. Alex L - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
