This was the best decision I’ve ever made!

My time in Heredia, Costa Rica is one I will NEVER forget, and I am walking away with a whole new family thousands of miles away. The USAC staff were reliable, caring, and attentive. I never at any point felt that I didn’t have the adequate support to be safe and have an amazing. My host family went above and beyond to make me feel safe, welcome, and loved. My professors were knowledgeable and fantastic. I felt like I experienced all of the best things Costa Rica has to offer—whether that’s city life, fútbol, the ocean, or the rainforest. I was able to experience these on my own time, in course field studies, and trips hosted by USAC! I am eternally grateful for this experience and everyone that made it possible!
