ILISA was such a rich experience, we are definitely coming back! Our progress was beyond our expectations and the cultural activities and trips throughout Costa Rica were a great benefit to our immersion in the culture. A definte must-do is stay with a host family; they’ll make you feel at home right away!Ashley and Alauna, USF StudentsU.S.A
You have a great school and a great program here. I learned a lot last year and even more this time. The professors are professional and friendly. The program is organized and effective in training. The director is very friendly and approachable. The Spanish director and the program specialist are very nice and it was easy to approach them. I love my homestay family. I would highly recommend ILISA to anyone interested in language immersion.Wes Jones, School CounselorLawrenceville, GA
