I chose the program because AmeriSpan has a good analysis of individual programs; past success in Heredia the prior year.

I had an amazing time. The professors would not let me speak English and it really helped. My host families in both places were extremely welcoming and really wanted to help teach me Spanish. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

I met other students that did not use AmeriSpan (or another agency). They were amazed by the amount of information I received pre-trip. This made me appreciate all over again how useful it was to utilize AmeriSpan and the services that you offer.

Samara was really a laid back place to study, I felt as though I didn't stand out too much as a foreigner with all of the tourists, but there weren't too many tourists to be obnoxious. My host family was really wonderful...they were interested in speaking with me and very patient as well. I really love that AmeriSpan made it so easy to compare quality and price of all of the different programs, this is a daunting task made easy by AmeriSpan! Thank you!
