	COSI is great because the teachers work according to the needs of the student. The experience is very pleasant and very relaxed. It’s fun!!! Itzhak Helman (Israel)
	COSI is an outstanding school for anyone with the desire of learn or improve their Spanish.Teachers are excellent, patient, and motivating. The staff was always willing to assist in any way possible.COSI is a fantastic, friendly and reliable school. I hope to return one day soon. Caroline W (USA)
	What I like about COSI is the attention that the entire staff demonstrates with regard to all aspects of the study abroad experience. The classes, housing and tour arrangements could not be any better. Since I take students from the United States to Costa Rica every year, I had to find a well established institute with reliable personnel. After interviewing directors from various schools as well as visiting their premises, I had no difficulty choosing COSI. Their staff will do everything possible to help the student master the Spanish language in a very friendly environment. They are also there to help in any situation that may arise. My students and I are thoroughly satisfied. Robert K. (PhD)
