You should know there are a lot of rules. I don't like that.
Other comments
If you're not in the right level (at least if the level is too low) you have to ask the school staff to go up a level. I think the teacher should give you a sign about that, it shouldn't just be up to you. I paid a lot of money and wasted two whole weeks.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Coming from Brooklyn in the Q line it's better to change at Union Square-14th Str. for the green line, take an express train (one stop until Grand Central Station) and go out at 42th St./Lexington Avenue. It's important to choose this way out. If instead you continue in the Q line until Time Square and then take the Shuttle to Grand Central it's farer and more confusing. Taking a wrong way at places like Time Square or Grand Central Station may mean "huge half an hour" delay.

My opinion about the school is honestly very positive. I would like to have had a library with an English dictionary to study between classes.

I don't think it's necessary for professional students who are staying one week to go to the pub to learn how to use the metro.... It was crowded and we couldn't hear anything.

They should give better information about how to prepare oneself, - t.x. reeding grammar in our own language before arriving, will be helpful. Better information about tools to bring, t.x. C-Pen for translating or other equipments.

New York is a fantastic city and living there for several weeks is a great experience. The school is good, although having a good teacher is a very important factor to help you to improve your language skills and, in my case, I was not very happy with mine.

The class had mixed too many people in the sense that he also had Korean / Japanese who did not understand English language so much and it meant a drawback for students who were advanced, and however the ones that had good language properties, and because my class was a Conversation one we were eventually forced to speak and it was such an uncomfortable nuisance! Then I attended a month of Steps on Broadway dance school, and I loved her from the very first moment! Very ighly trained and very professional teachers, and all the classes very punctual according to the timetables that are in the special booklets! I attended also the Jazz and Contemporary dance class and I highly recommend it to all! I hope to return there one day, it was really such a great experience and an excellent choice!
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
The teachers must be patient if some Asian student has a terrible pronunciation of words in English but for the rest this school give you a very good chance, that is to be in contact with people from all around the world, and of course, you can talk to them in English ... and this automatically will follow a very great improvement!
