Maybe they should try to work with more organizations worldwide, to avoid having too many students of the same nationality. In the 2 weeks I attended school there were only German and Swedish students!

i think for older students, the summer-months are not very suitable. Many young people at this school. If you
are young or you like it, it´s ok. I could immediately change into the morning-course, which was good.
My room had double the size of my bed, which was very very small

sometimes it's difficult to get a good contact to other students if you're only a "2-week-student" because a lot of people study there for a few months...

The teachers were very sympathetic. Most of them were from Barcelona and they told us many stories about "their" city, also about current events and culture.

The school was well oprganized. The only problem was that there were so many pupils in august and they had lessons in the afternoon too. That wasn`t published when I booked the course!
