Exchange Student Program
Costa Rica
At first sight, Costa Rica seems almost
too good to be true. The attractions of this tiny nation
are many, and the quality of life among the highest of Western
Hemisphere standards.
Costa Rica has been blessed with remarkable equilibrium:
few extremes of wealth and poverty, no standing army, and
a proud history as one of the region's most stable democracies.
Ticos, as the warmhearted Costa Ricans are known,
pride themselves on having more teachers than policemen,
a higher male life expectancy than in the United States,
and a strong commitment to peace and prosperity.
Costa Rica seems to be bursting onto the international student
education scene. The Pacific Northwest coast offers miles
of white beaches, and winterless climate. The country is
a top choice for "green" travel, with 12 distinct ecological
zones that are home to an astonishing array of flora and
fauna, such as the coatimundi, jaguars, sea turtles, arrow
frogs, and quetzals.
