Diana Razo Doing the ACM Costa Rica program was one of the best experiences of my life. I was doing things that I wouldn't think to do back home. Being from a big city, it was nice to see how "different" the city of San José compares to the city of Chicago. The length of the program was perfect for me, because my college is on a trimester schedule. I was so happy to combine my two passions with my research project: Latin American Studies and Music. It was a great cultural experience, and I hope to visit Costa Rica again in the future.
