Since I didn't now too much spanish before I came, I had, in the beginning, problems to comunicate with people. I worked a lot with especially the vocabulary and tried to speak spanish all the time. The native people are very helpfull and they really like if you try to express yourself in their language. Allthough a lot of native people also like to practice their English. In my univeristy people were also very helpfull. Some of the teachers had private grammar classes with me when needed, and they also helped me understanding my classes.
All the classes are small (max 30 persons). This makes a good atmosphere and a good dialog with the theachers and among students.

Commentaire personnel
Everything depends on what subjects I took. I specially liked how my programming course (C++) was organized. A good class:
-has a good theacher
-has essays and projects in groups and individually a few times each semester
-is theached with creativity: It means disussions of different cases, quizes, TV, ineractive media shows etc
UCR could be better in some of this aspects!!
I have been traveling a lot since I was born, so I was in general prepared on what was waiting.

Recommandation personnelle
I think this university should keep up the good work!!
They could be more modernised. But compared to most other government-driven universities in Middle-America I suppose they are well ahead.
If the ecomical situation in the country gets better I guess they also will spend more money on the educational part.

Costa Rica is a country in the middle of middle-America. You have a lot of nice spots to see in their own country: White beaches on the caribean side (Limon, Puero Viejo), black beaches on the atlantic side (Puntarenas, Jaco, Quepos etc), vulcanos (Arenal) etc.
While you're in CR you should also take a trip to the neighbour-countries. I recomand especially a Island in Hoduras on the caribean side called Roatan. The best diving spot I've ever visited!!
Helpful advices: Keep your belongings very close you... There are a lot of thieves in these areas..
