"Studying International Relations at Grand Valley fostered my desire to explore the world and with the biggest asset of IR being the ability to study in practically any location, I found myself in Puntarenas, Costa Rica for an academic year. Start your journey to study abroad and discover the incredible places it will take you!" - Katie LaRue
