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 for its international students to participate in, including salsa dance lessons, intramural sports, a conversation-partner program with Costa Rican students, lessons in cooking Costa Rican food, city excursions, and free self-defense and martial arts classes.
Plus, on Tropical Marine Biology in Costa Rica, you’ll get to travel throughout the country and compare life in urban San Jose to that in some truly remote regions.
