The atmosphere at the school was very friendly and the teacher was good and very helpful. The school has very large rooms, quiet and clean. There were not many students my age in this period but during the week (I stayed there just 1 week) I took part of an activity for free: we learned to make pizza!!

Other comments The facility for the first 2 weeks of our class was not a good learning enviroment, hot and noisy. The last week, ILM moved into a building which was an actual school that was much better. The teachers were great and tried their best in the less adequate conditions. The apartment the school arranged for us was above our expectations.
