Description
On Semester in Costa Rica, you will study in English or in Spanish at a local university, Universidad Veritas, in the bustling capital city of San Jose. In your free time, explore nearby volcanoes, go zip lining in the rainforest, and get to know Costa Rican culture while sipping some of the best coffee in the world with classmates at a local cafe! You will experience:
* Local and international students - Your fellow students will be a great balance of local Costa Ricans, known as Ticos, and international students.
* Choose your language - Take courses ranging from Costa Rican culture and environment to art studies taught in English, take Spanish-language courses, or, if your Spanish is strong enough, choose from a variety of courses in Spanish to immerse yourself with local Costa Rican students and professors!
* Perfect location - Being minutes from the heart of the Costa Rican capital, you can explore the city with ease, but beautiful national parks, picturesque mountain villages, and relaxed beach towns are also nearby.
* Extracurricular activities - The University provides weekly dance classes, intramural sports, martial arts classes, Costa Rican cooking classes, religious organizations, volunteer opportunities, and more.
* Great excursions - During your semester in Costa Rica, you and your fellow study abroad students can take advantage of 2 day trips and 2 weekend excursions, both included with the program. Take a city tour, wander through the local markets, and try some exotic tropical fruit as you explore the rain forest.
