I don't agree with the decision to have classes that span such a large age-group. In my class there were kids aged 16 along with people 40 years old .. I think it would be useful to diversify.

Teachers are all very helpful and kind, leisure activities were absolutely great (e.g. Friday or Saturday excursions to party in a pub, museum visits), director welcomed the new students personally with an instruction, upgrading or downgrading of courses is possible at any time

But: class-rooms can not be ventilated because of air conditioning. And it stinks therefore in the rooms (very sticky)
