Students are surprised to find that student housing conditions in Costa Rica are very unlike in ultramodern regions like southern California. Nevertheless, this difference makes the family-stay style of student housing a memorable experience for every foreign student.Houses here are small to medium, just like in suburbs, and students share the same bathing facilities with the family. A foreign student used to eating bread and butter will also find out that, in Costa Rica, rice is the staple food.
