In the process of hunting for a program to study abroad with, AmeriSpan offered a variety of programs with affordable prices, presented a nice package, and did not require a very early application deadline.

AmeriSpan was informative and I knew all about the program details before I left. All of the details that they gave me were correct. I absolutely loved my time in Costa Rica. It is an amazing university with an amazing Spanish Abroad program. I would recommend anyone, with any level of Spanish to attend. You'll come home not only practically fluent, but you'll wish you stayed longer.

Universidad Veritas is an excellent site. It was in a safe, quiet neighborhood. The professors and staff were caring and personal. It was mind opening to be in a different culture and not just as a tourist who stays for a week and never gets an understanding of the culture.
