University Costs in Costa Rica
December 26th, 2007 Posted in Living in Costa RicaA few weeks ago I was talking to a good friend who visits Costa Rica about every three weeks because of the real estate investments he has here. He mentioned that he is currently spending about $80,000 yearly on his two children’s college education. This made me fell so fortunate to live in Costa Rica.
My son was just admitted as a ULACIT University in San José, Costa Rica. ULACIT is a private university with an excellent reputation both here and abroad. My son was selected for a special M.A. program in the field of Bilingual International Commerce. The total cost per year is just under $3,000 dollars. The same education in the U.S. would cost over three times that figure. Lincoln School, my son’s private Costa Rican high school, was even more expensive than his university.
People who move here can be assured there children can receive a first-rate college education for a fraction of the cost of a U.S. university.
