Fully immerse yourself!
February 29, 2024by: Mercy HilloProgram: Pre-Med Healthcare Exploration in Costa RicaI really enjoyed my time with my family and will miss them very much. I recommend this program without hesitation if you want to fully embrace the culture and language.Immerse yourself in the experience and enjoy your time in Costa Rica. I chose to listen to music in Spanish and interact with Spanish media which really helped.
Highly recommend for academic and cultural benefits
February 29, 2024by: Chloe GreeneProgram: Pre-Med Healthcare Exploration in Costa RicaFor those thinking about study abroad, I highly recommend this program for its academic and cultural benefits. The program and my host family were very accommodating of my dietary restrictions and me struggling to communicate with them. I now have a better grasp on Spanish and I also have a new international friend.
First aid instructor was incredible
February 29, 2024by: Joy Lewis-mendezProgram: Pre-Med Healthcare Exploration in Costa RicaOur directors were warm, responsive, and fun. Our first aid instructor was incredible and every moment with him was intentional and valuable. The elderly care visit was a highlight. My host mom was an impeccable host and we loved every interaction and meal. I encourage future students to apply to Arcos!
