“I have found taking Spanish classes at Babson to be one of the most intellectually stimulating parts of my life at Babson. The classes have enabled me to interact comfortably and to work with people from different cultures and backgrounds. In fact, I am spending this entire summer working in Spanish in Costa Rica! Overall, I would say that ‘La Pura Vida,’the pure life, the motto of Costa Rica’s people, cannot be attained without the opportunity to experience another culture through their language.”
