Tell us about your International Experience trip. Where did you go? What was your favorite part?

One of the absolute highlights of my first year was the International Experience trip to Costa Rica - it quickly became my favorite MBA memory. I connected with an incredible group of classmates as we stargazed under clear night skies, watched breathtaking sunsets, shared unforgettable group dinners, and even toured a local coffee plantation. Getting to bond with peers beyond Evans Hall in such a unique setting was incredibly special, and I'll truly cherish these memories for a lifetime.
