Sono andato in Costa Rica senza nessuna conoscenza dello spagnolo. Anche così mi sono sentito subito a casa non appena sono stato capace di comunicare con gli abitanti. Ora, non solo ho imparato lo spagnolo ma ho conosciuto molti amici fra gli studenti e i professori. Se frequenti un corso a COSI, sono sicuro che vivrai un'esperienza unica!

Robert K. (PhD)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.
