San José Overview

San José (1,000,000) is set in the lush central valley of the Costa Rican highlands. As the cultural center, and capital city of Costa Rica, San José is home to many well-established universities. ISA students will be engaged both culturally and academically while studying at Veritas University or the ULACIT (Latin American University of Science and Technology). For convenience, the ISA office is located on the university side of town. Students rave about the ISA staff and the program's success in helping them to achieve their study abroad and foreign language goals. At the ISA office, participants can check e-mail, obtain travel information, research the many volunteer and internship opportunities, receive tutoring from the staff and obtain details for upcoming ISA excursions. Participants find the San José study abroad program particularly rewarding due to the friendly locals (called Ticos) and numerous activities the city has to offer. Also an important highlight is San José's central location which makes it easy for touring beautiful Costa Rica.
