Four Reasons to Visit this Surprisingly Great Travel Stop

UNIVERSITIES – the future of our bright, and not-so bright minds!

If you are in a town that has a university they are definitely worth checking out. For many reasons:

1. It’s great to see how the local students attend school and basically get a sneak peak into their lives.

2. They are full of advertisements for upcoming events, concerts and fun stuff.

3. If you have a child, they get to run free without worrying about a car running them over.

4. Cheap cafeteria food!

Practically every educational facility houses beautiful gardens and interesting buildings. They are usually open to the public, and can be a wealth of information. It doesn’t matter if you speak the language or not, chances are the posters hanging all over the place are quite visual with the location written in bold letters. And students love to speak to everyone, eagerly pointing you in the right direction. So check out the closest university (UNA in Heredia and UCR in San Pedro close to San Jose) and then go for a beer or a quick meal on its outskirts, you’re guaranteed to have a stimulating day, full of activities and local culture!
