I gained/learned so much more than I could ever learn by sitting in a classroom. My heart was opened to the people of Costa Rica and my eyes were opened to the unfair and unjust world of cheap labor. I was reminded of partnering and loving other humans. Jane - California State University - Fullerton View Entire Review
My Spanish is improved a lot A student - Mount Mary University View Entire Review
I learned so much about not only myself but about life. I had a change of perspective and a change of so many elements in my life. I wouldn't change this experience for the world. Emily Shorougian - Carroll University View Entire Review
I gained language skills, friendships, a new view of a different culture and the ability to reflect on my lifestyle back home. So many times I looked around and couldn't believe the life I was living; it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. A student - Winona State University View Entire Review
The power of saying "yes" to new experiences and challenges, how laughter and love and family intertwines cultures, and how every day of this wonderful life is an adventure. Kaleigh B - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
Studying abroad is absolutely worthwhile. I had an amazing time and couldn't have wished for anything more. I wish it could have been even longer! Morrissa B - University of California - Berkeley View Entire Review
This experience will absolutely influence my life going forward in every aspect. I have learned that what is truly important is not work or money, it is people. People are everything in this world, and I am nothing without my friends and family. Before coming to Costa Rica I found myself always stressed out. Working and studying... Tim M - University of Missouri - Saint Louis View Entire Review
New persepective and a new language. It was absolutely worthwhile. From this experience, I gained new perspective, a new language to reach an entirely different target audience of people, life-long friends, and another family! Max H - University of Northern Colorado View Entire Review
I learned that the best way to learn a language is through immersion. I know that I have to return to a Spanish-speaking country if I want to become truly fluent, and I hope to return to SOL some day. Emily M - Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review
I gained frienships, a second family, and the love for a country and its langauge. A student - Metropolitan State University of Denver View Entire Review
I will never be able to put into words how much I have changed after Costa Rica. It really hit me once I came back to the states how much the activities and excursions I participated in had/have an effect on my everyday life! Emily B - Wagner College View Entire Review

I learned so much about the culture and even more, the language. I wish I could have stayed longer! But I am so happy that I was able to experience it all with the people I did. Sydney R - Xavier University View Entire Review
Go into the experience with an open mind. Try to fully immerse yourself in the program so that you can learn the most about yourself and the culture. Once you decide to study abroad you have to realize that the experience is going to happen whether you're excited about it or not, so make the most of it while you have the chance... A student - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
This experience has really changed my life, and changed me as a person. It will definitely affect my future career because I will always remember the experiences and lessons I learned in Costa Rica. It has taught me to live life more simply. It has taught me that family is first, and love is really all you need to find happiness... Kirsten K - California State University - Fullerton View Entire Review
I feel that I had learned a lot from living with a host family. It was 100% worthwhile and I want to go back and study again in the winter. Danielle Baer - Universidad Latina de Costa Rica View Entire Review
Using a 3rd party provider for the first time for our department we had a phenomenal experience. We are going to continue to do this into the future. We wish that SOL had a Thailand program for us to use. Diana Robles Nichols - California State University - Fullerton View Entire Review
It was more than worthwhile. I learned mores than just Spanish. I learned how tiny I am in this big world. A student - Eastern Kentucky University View Entire Review
"The SOL Education not only teaches us about daily life, we learn about the culture. Learning another language takes patience, determination, and a strong desire. A little bit goes a long way, so try to continualily push yourself beyond what you can think you d A student - George Mason University View Entire Review
Absolutely! I gained many life lessons through traveling, new perspectives and Spanish! A student - University of Houston View Entire Review
It was certainly worthwhile. Costa Rica is very Americanized, though. All in all, I'd go back. A student - University of Houston - Downtown View Entire Review
I gained new friends and fluidity in the language. It was worthwhile Juan R - Texas A&M University - College Station View Entire Review
Cultures are beautiful, and the world is beautiful. It was so worthwhile. It challenged me to break barriers of being a homebody, and experience another culture and society. A student - Elizabethtown College View Entire Review
I gained language experience, cultural experience, and gained an adventurous spirit. Zane S - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
Oh my gosh! This was the most memorable/legendary time of my life. I wish I had the opportunity to take another semester off and do it again(but I'm pre-med, so thats a nope). If you have the opportunity to study abroad you should do it, and if you're thinking about choosing the Sol program, you should definitely do it. So worth... Tristan M - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself and gained such a passion for traveling. This time abroad was incredible and I'm already itching to go back! Jackie P - Georgetown College View Entire Review
