There are only a few people in the classes and so you can speak and learn a lot. The teachers have a good structured plan of their lessons and they take care to send you to a class with a suitable level. There are a lot of students from very different countries.

You should try to stay at the Student House, it is nice, clean and in a great location. You will have great oppotrtunities to make friends. You should also go to Niagara Falls or stay in Canada for Halloween.

To go out with other students with a different nationality and in this way learn about their culture and try their food.
Other comments
If you are in a lower level especially at the beginning of your course it is very difficult to unterstand your classmates who are from an asian country. At my first weeks I felt that some of the teaching rooms were too narrow. But after a few weeks the school opened a second building and then the rooms were okay. Nevertheless, the number of toiletts at the school is too small. However, the majority of the teachers is highly motivated, knows how to interest you in the lesson topics and is willing to answer all your question and to give you some extra work if you want. Sometimes at the school is a high quantity of teachers changes which makes you feel uncomfortable. Eventually, you can use the internet for free.

After the language test at my first day, I was in level 6 (of 8). Unfortunately, my class comprised over 80% asian students with a really bad pronounciation, and I had the impression that I was a little bit unchallenged. The second day, the school offered me to change into a higher level. After that, my class was much better and I was really happy.
