Heredia ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Heredia
What our students said about Heredia
I do not recommend Heredia particularly, although I did get used to being there. The downtown area especially looks like a slum. I came home one day to find a guy sleeping on the sidewalk in front of my door. I did find a couple of good restaurants. But safety -- no. The school held an evening event at a bar two short blocks from my homestay, and it was strongly recommended that I take a taxi home. Really?!
I think it's a good middle between the capital and then far out towns.

My teacher, Jesús, was excellent! Seriously, one of the best teachers I've ever seen. The office staff were all friendly and helpful.
All in all, it was a very positive experience.
