San Francisco ratings & reviews
What our students said about San Francisco
With no other city do I have such a deep and everlasting connection. The city and everything that goes with it is an absolute blast if you can afford the increased prices, if you can deal with poverty, drugs, homeless people and rubbish, and if you can accept the local transport runs on practically no timetable.
Great to visit, even if it’s not cheap, there are a lot of activities to do and places to visit
Cannot rate nightlife. Generally recommendable.

10 March 2025
Course: Standard 12 - Morning - 1 week
Student age: 52 years
Nice atmosphere overall, people are nice to each other.
I wasn’t here for long but I had the opportunity to go on a field trip with the class to visit a few close neighborhoods, and the events organized (Halloween, Thanksgiving) were great.
26 November 2024
Course: Intensive 18 - Morning - 12 weeks
Student age: 17 years
excellent context, little time available (only one week) for a more in-depth judgment
4 July 2022
Course: Vacation English 20 - 1 week
Student age: 17 years
super location, super people, relaxed atmosphere
I can only recommend it at the moment, although there is a big problem about a far too high payment in a friend's booking, where it is still unclear right now which party (school or residence) is asking for this unannounced extra payment.
