Universidad National (UNA)

The few trips I took outside of the city were very inexpensive. Everything else was pretty comparable in price.

I wish I had been forewarned about some of my professors. One professor absolutely hated Americans, and he made my life miserable. I only needed a few core course requirements to complete my program, and they fell into the category of general studies. I took one class in Art because it was required. The professor expected everyone in his class to be an artist and have an insatiable love for art. I didn't, and I came very close to failing.

I failed every single one of my economics exams, and the teacher never once suggested a tutor to me. I asked for his help in understanding the course, and he told me to read the book. Also, I was unable to use my Spanish/English dictionary on the tests, which at times, made it difficult for me to understand the questions. I enjoyed the final projects, though.

nothing.

Don't just take the literature courses. Be brave and check out some of the regular classes like science, math, and fine arts. You might be the only international student in the class, but you'll get a better appreciation for university life.

I was forced to interact with the culture, and my Spanish abilities improved drastically.
