  18. Amazing Journey My study abroad experience was incredible and unforgettable. I urge anyone who is considering studying abroad in Costa Rica to do so, because it expanded my worldview, allowed me to push myself beyond my comfort zone, and offered me adventures beyond my imagination. I am so thankful for this opportunity, which I would not have had without Lehigh’s Undergraduate Student International Co-Curricular Experiences Pilot Grant Program. Daytime view from La Trocha
