Experience of a life time!
September 25, 2021by: Trisha Dodiya - United StatesI still can't believe I had the opportunity to go to Costa Rica as a high schooler and meet not only the most incredible locals but also everyone on the program. Dr.Hanna was so insightful and we all loved learning through her experiences! LAST was very accommodating and every activity planned exceeded my expectations, especially all the animals we saw on our hikes and the fun we had working with the locals! I can't wait to go again and would absolutely recommend this for anyone that needs vet hours or just wants a great experience!
Amazing!
September 27, 2021by: Cory Hess - United StatesStudying abroad through Loop Abroad was the best decision I could've ever made! I felt so welcomed by the staff, and my fellow students that being in another country thousands of miles away from home still felt like home. Working with the sea turtles and staff, at LAST, was truly an experience I will never forget and will forever be thankful for. I definitely recommend this trip or truly any trip through Loop Abroad!
Everything I could have asked for!
September 29, 2021by: Jenna Geier - United StatesThis trip was amazing. It was a great chance to go out of my comfort zone and learn about a subject that I did not know a lot about. I would recommend this program who is looking for a unique experience for vet school or just a cool trip! The days were a lot of work, it is not a trip were you can lounge on the beach all day, but I would not have wanted it any other way!
