San Juan. Puerto Rico’s capital and largest city, San Juan is located on the northern shore and was founded in 1521. Universidad del Sagrado Corazon in San Juan is the most well known university and hosts many study abroad programs in which students can enroll as a regular student and attend classes with Puerto Ricans. Old San Juan offers what seems like an afternoon in historic Spain. Is is easy to see the evidence of Spanish rule when strolling through the Plaza de Armas or visiting Castillo de San Crisóbal which is a large fort built by the Spanish to protect San Juan.

Meaning “corner” in Spanish, the town is well named, because it sits in a rather remote corner of Puerto Rico. It has become a famous surf destination in the last few decades as well as a famous destination for artists.
