Is Costa Rica better to tour with some school mates for a week or to study abroad by yourself for a month?
December 3rd, 2009 | 
Author: A teacher at my school and some students are going to Costa Rica for nine days during the summer. I was wondering if I should pay $1900 for this or to study abroad by myself for 27 days for $3700 and receive college credit and learn some more spanish.
If you have the time and the money, study abroad for a month. A week is fun- and you’ll travel with people you know, but you won’t have time to fully immerse yourself into the culture. During a month long stay, you’ll have more time to learn about the language, culture, and participate in local events. You might even decide you want to stay longer.
If you’re interested in looking into other study abroad programs in Costa Rica, I write for a new travel/study abroad website called Gulliver (http://www.gullivergo.com). Check out these Costa Rica programs (http://bit.ly/2Debmo). Also, if you need help preparing for your trip (housing, funding, travel info, cell phone & internet tips) visit our "Prepare to Go" section (http://www.gullivergo.com/prepare-to-go) and look up Costa Rica. Hope this helps! Have a great trip!
