Join Texas Tech University Costa Rica as a visiting student

Getting involved in Texas tech Costa Rica study abroad program was one of the best decisions I made during my time at Texas Tech. Costa Rica is a beautiful country with even better people. I was able to intern and gain new experiences in my industry while also being immersed into a great culture.

Studying abroad in Costa Rica was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Living in such a beautiful and biodiverse country made every day feel like an adventure from exploring rainforests and beaches to spotting wildlife I had only seen in documentaries. The academic experience was equally valuable; classes often connected directly to the local culture and environment, which made learning feel much more meaningful than in a typical classroom. Beyond academics, the biggest impact came from the people. Interacting with locals and fellow students from around the world helped me grow more confident, open minded, and adaptable. I also improved my Spanish and gained a deeper appreciation for Costa Rica’s “pura vida” lifestyle, which emphasizes balance, community, and enjoying life. Overall, studying abroad in Costa Rica expanded my perspective in ways I didn’t expect. It challenged me, inspired me, and left me with friendships and memories that will stay with me long after the program ended.

I enjoyed Texas Tech-Costa Rica! It was an eye opener because it was my first time out of the country ever and I met so many nice people during my time there. The staff, locals, and other students were amazing to meet. I knew this was a great opportunity because I knew I wanted to experience the amazing study abroad experiences that Texas Tech had to offer and Costa Rica did not disappoint! I will always recommend students to experience Texas Tech Costa Rica, I may not be studying abroad there again since I am graduating May 2026, however I will be back to Costa Rica to get out of the states for a while!
