This the most pretigious university in Costa Rica. ITs campus is large and totally safe, they have a train station that takes students to and from other cities and universities.
I had the opportunity to visit the University of Costa Rica on business rather than a tourist visit. The campus is large and impressive with some great facilities--this is a major university. The interactions between the environment and the campus are very interesting--the notion of tropical birds, plants and insects adjacent to college buildings is extremely appealing. For example, the activities of the leaf cutter ant colonies were fascinating ....where else can you take a step outside a university building and see such creatures. The area is urban but we had very pleasant times walking around campus.
Do not miss when visiting San Jose. Is has beautiful gardens you can walk along, libraries. coffee shops, movies, music, etc.You can stay the full day discovering different things and activities.
In the middle of the city, the University of Costa Rica stands as a biological and natural reserve of non-polluted air. The campus is filled with gardens and trails leading to its faculties and buildings. The people are usually friendly, and you should visit at least once the plaza we call "El pretil", which is the core center of social interactions in the university. It is located between the Faculty of General Studies, the Carlos Monge library, and the Faculty of Engineering, at the southern part of the campus. To have the full experience, don't overlook going for a coffee at one of the "sodas" (cafeterias), have some greasy "patacones", and talk about trivial topics with the locals, which are usually very friendly and outgoing.
The name sounds advancements! but the campus is SO VERY CONFUSING!!! people were very snob! no help! and Feel overcrowded! Too much people! Around. Not much information. the building designs and artworks are sore sights to see! Not very impressive at all! Too SMALL and Too CROWDING! For the name! of Educational place! ??
I lecture there when I visit Costa Rica. It is a thriving and impressive university, with a large and diverse campus.
This is the college where I studied and got my Political Science degree. I have wonderful memories of that time. The Ciudad Universitaria Rodrigo Facio, where the university is located, is a big camp and you need time to walk around. You can visit the faculties and take a look of the life in the campus. Don´t miss it,
The U of CR and it serounding are very Nice to visit and you Will find in the San Pedro and Los Yoses area nice restaurants, very good food and fair prices.
