As a study abroad student by the age of 15 while in France, I understood from first-hand the value of this experience, the importance of the quality and uniqueness of the program. International education has become a passion in my life and being part of the students&#8217; personal and academic growth is a real honor; and for this reason, we pursue excellence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My professional training in Psychology has been a wonderful complement to provide support to international students when facing the challenges of living abroad. You can always count on us for support, guidance, and of course&#8230;ideas to enjoy your adventure in Costa Rica.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you all have an unforgettable life-changing experience with us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Program Director provides academic advice, introduces you to the community and handles communication with the University.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-tabs__button-wrapper\">\n\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-tabs__button\" data-target=\"page-block-30\">\n\t\t\t\t\tCultural Activities\t\t\t<\/button>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"page-block-30\" class=\"block-tabs__tab-content\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"print-only\">\n\t\t\tCultural Activities\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\n<p>Learning does not begin or end in the classroom.
