A great place to live and learn
August 05, 2014by: Costa Rica Chica - LouisvilleProgram: Study Abroad in San Jose, Costa Rica
If you're a an adventure seeker, Costa Rica is a great place to Study Abroad. ISA offers many excursions to Costa Rica's beaches, cities and neighboring countries. Play with monkeys, see incredible sunsets and learn what Pura Vida is all about.
Fantastic Experience

My host family was fantastic and the ISA program was very helpful. I learned so much from my classes and home stay. They also set up some weekend travel for us that was both fun and safe.

Choosing which study abroad program was the best fit for me didn’t happen overnight. It took a lot of research and comparing to finally reach a decision. The Education Abroad office at the University of Kentucky was such a great tool in helping me decide. I wanted to choose a program outside of my school so I would have the opportunity to meet other students from different parts of the United States.
