Student opinions about Unique New Zealand, Auckland

Liked
'Unique NZ' employs some very good (and interesting) teachers, and I can say I enjoyed my time in class. But what is even more suprising is that they all really seemed to care. There was always somebody around you could ask to, not only about language problems; and even when classes were already over. Changing the hostfamily or even the course was no problem at all.
