- Sol Education was the Best Choice for Me12/27/19
Sol Education was the best choice for me. Their staff was attentive and caring from when I first applied through when I came home from my semester. Additionally, their local staff was always helpful as well as so sweet! All the host families for Sol make
you feel like you're a part of their family for the few months you're there. The excursions are super fun, and they also plan weekly activities. I would absolutely recommend this program.

Studying through the SOL Education Abroad program was an amazing experience and I have no regrets. The program includes many well-planned excursions as well as cultural activities. I have learned so much about Costa Rica through these excursions and have
made so many memories with a great group of people. Also, there are many free weekends available to explore more of the country on your own time. Classes are fun and all of my teachers were very kind and helpful. My Spanish has improved so much since I have arrived due to my teachers, host family, and friends. My host family was wonderful and they always made me feel at home. I will definitely return in the future to visit them! SOL Education is very supportive of all your needs and is an amazing program!
