Where to study in Costa Rica, do an internship, do volunteerwork or look for a job in Costa Rica?
Why study, intern, volunteer or work temporarily in Costa Rica?
- because the capital San Jose is a very poular university city for many foreign students.
- because ecotourism and conservation opportunities abound in Costa Rica.
- because your colleagues are often helpful, friendly and interested.
- because the country is not called "the land of eternal spring" for nothing: pleasant climate for study, internship or work!
- because the nightlife in San Jose in particular can be very lively.
- because the culture in Costa Rica is known as one of the most progressive and relaxed ('la Pura Vida'!) in Central America.
- because the coffee in Costa Rica is one of the best in the world.
- because Costa Rica is a great country to (learn to) speak Spanish, while at the same time being exposed to regional nuances as well as languages like Patois (Jamaican-Creole), German and Portuguese.
What should you pay attention to?
- That the country is one of the relatively safest countries in Central America, as long as you observe basic safety measures and local warnings.
- that distances can sometimes surprise you in Costa Rica; travel times are often longer than you first think.
- That security and theft can also be an issue in Costa Rica, especially at night and in certain parts of San José.
