I loved the UCR's atmosphere. Between all the college aged students milling about and the trees, streams, and walkways, it's a good place to hang out, meet friends and have conversations.

I had the opportunity to visit the University of Costa Rica on business rather than a tourist visit. The campus is large and impressive with some great facilities--this is a major university. The interactions between the environment and the campus are very interesting--the notion of tropical birds, plants and insects adjacent to college buildings is extremely appealing. For example, the activities of the leaf cutter ant colonies were fascinating ....where else can you take a step outside a university building and see such creatures. The area is urban but we had very pleasant times walking around campus.

This is a public university but testing is required for admission so many individuals who would not necessarily benefit from the experience are not among those being admitted. The school also runs many certificate courses such as 'Addictions Counselor' and 'Nutritionist.' Classes, of course, are in Spanish. Cost for Costa Ricans is minimal and for non residents it is reasonable; about equal to the cost in community colleges in the US.

This is a very nice university. My husband was there more than 15 years ago doing research with a university from the States. It said the University of Costa Rica was even more impressive now than then.

This is the college where I studied and got my Political Science degree. I have wonderful memories of that time. The Ciudad Universitaria Rodrigo Facio, where the university is located, is a big camp and you need time to walk around. You can visit the faculties and take a look of the life in the campus. Don´t miss it,
