San Jose offers so much to explore, taste, smell, and see … even on a modest student budget! You will have no trouble finding art exhibitions, theater events, music and dancing, film festivals, and more. The University itself offers many activities that international students can participate in, including salsa dance lessons, intramural sports, a conversation-partner program with Costa Rican students, lessons in cooking typical Costa Rican food, city excursions, and free self-defense and martial arts classes.
Intern in Costa Rica offers an extensive orientation program. This helps you get comfortable, get energized to start classes, and meet fellow study abroad students from all over the US and the world. On-site staff help prepare you to immerse yourself in a new culture and make the most of your time in San Jose.
