Industrial Engineering, Louisiana Tech Costa Rica 2022
I could not recommend the study abroad program more! There is no better experience to further your education and yourself as a person. Living in Costa Rica made me into such a better Spanish speaker, but it also taught me so much about culture, other perspectives, and about how we interact with the world around us!

The vibrant culture, rich history, and welcoming community have made every day an adventure. I’ve had the opportunity to immerse myself in the Spanish language, explore stunning architecture, and enjoy the delicious local cuisine. The friendships I’ve formed with both local students and fellow international peers have enriched my understanding of different perspectives. This experience has not only enhanced my academic journey, but also fostered personal growth and a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity.

Whitney Tubbs
English Literature, Louisiana Tech London 2024
Study abroad was life-changing. We read poetry by some of the greats, like T. S. Eliot and William Blake, and then were able to see the places that inspired their work. The trip included 3 weeks in London and 2 weeks in Oxford. They’re not far from one another geographically but worlds apart in atmosphere. Staying in the dorms at Oxford college was probably my favorite part of the trip. The memories of my semester abroad and those I shared it with will be with me for the rest of my life, and I’m grateful to Louisiana Tech for giving me that experience!
