University students play an important role to develop entrepreneurship given his formal education. This paper analyses perception of business students in Costa Rica about entrepreneurship, including difference by gender. A survey was created to make the study, which was answered by students of the Universidad Estatal a Distancia de Costa Rica. Results show that personal factors are the most important to boost entrepreneurship, but macroeconomic factors slow down his development. At the same time, gender differences are relevant. We also propose some recommendations on economic policy based on these results.
