“The best thing it's the pedagogy. If you ask something to your teacher, he manages to respond to your request. Sometimes he can create a class only for your request ! Also, Edinburgh is a very handsome city !!”

Other comments Regent is a good experience if you want to meet people from other countries. At Edinburgh I met more Polish, Brazilian, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Japanese than Scottish people !! And sometimes, you speak more a kind of "Spanglish" than English, but it's funny !

Other comments I wrote this suggestion in my questionnaire at the end of my course, but I repeat it here: in my opinion, it would be necessary to cover more grammar in classes. And it´s very ridiculous the prohibition to photocopy the books only to force students to buy books in the school.
