Linfield pays the cost of round-trip transportation from Portland International Airport for all eligible students. Linfield has operated this program since 1981. It helped me develop my language skills, gave me the opportunity to truly experience life in other cultures, and helped me to create a new perspective of the world. It facilitated interaction with Costa Ricans and helped us further in our language skills. One of the main benefits was daily interaction with our families and other locals.
