The neighbourhood is far from the city centre. There is no tube and the bus is 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transportation is very expensive, I recommend the Oyster Card. I don't recommend the residence because it is very dirty, especially the kitchen, which is also lacking a lot of utensils. You cannot wash your clothes. The only good thing was the breakfast, which was good and varied.

In my opinion it s better to change the class every 2-3 weeks becouse you risk to get bored with the same classmate and in particular the teacher. Change more teacher could be very interesting, so you can have different way to explain for example grammar, speaking and improuve better the comprehension.

The consultant was really supportive and extremely kind. My special thanks to Inge.
Referring to the website: the page in which you fill in the course details and insurance needs should be not only printable but able to be downloaded, perhaps in adobe format.

I recommend the intensive course for short periods, for long periods maybe it's better attend the first part of the course in the morning and in the afternoon, and for the second part it's fine only in the morning, so you have time to study.
