WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY? (IF YOU INTERNED ABROAD YOU CAN USE THIS SPACE TO TELL US ABOUT YOUR INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE IF YOU PREFER)
My favorite class I took while abroad was my Costa Rican Healthcare Systems class. In this class, I learned about the healthcare system in Costa Rica and was able to compare it to the United States healthcare system. We got to go on field trips which were very interesting and we had very good discussions during this class.
HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
I engaged with local community through interacting with my host family and the people they brought to their home. I also interacted with some of the students at the university I was attending. Through going to restaurants, stores, and other locations I was also able to engage with the local community and have interactions with people from Costa Rica.
