Negative aspects
In my opinion, I should have been placed in a higher class so that I would have had a little more difficulty in order to make more progress. The lessons didn't go fast enough

International students, approx. 20-30 years old, tending to be older. Super nice, committed teachers who make a lot of effort and also deal with individual problems. Interesting, varied lessons. There is a social activity almost every day.
City/place
London is simply fascinating, insanely diverse mixed architecture, great food there is super much to see and experience. London is very expensive, but there are also many free activities and you can save money through meal deals or cooking yourself.

A social activity has been organized in a pub, and this was a great opportunity to know other students, but it was organized only on Friday evening (the last day for most of us). It should have had a different value if it was organized during the first week.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Maybe check in good time whether the coffee and tea machine is working and have change ready for it and know that you can get hot water for free and maybe take tea bags with you because the ready-made bags don't taste particularly good.
Other comments
My participation in the WhatsApp student group did not work out. The link came too late and also ended up in my spam folder. There was so much to do on site! Since I was only there for 1 week, I couldn't take care of the WhatsApp and now I think it's a shame that I no longer have any contact with the other students.
City/place
A fascinating city, especially for young people, I think. But I also felt very comfortable at my age, especially because of my wonderful and quiet accommodation.
Accommodation
Because of the coronavirus it was nicer to walk, 40 minutes, that wasn't a problem. You can also take the metro in 30 minutes.

Be careful about the location of your accommodation. With the central London location of the school, you can easily take between 40 mins - 1.5 hours to commute depending on where you live.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
I was worried about the first day. I wanted to know more details before I arrived. I got lots of information but there was miscommunication between teachers and reception I thought.
Other comments
It was a good experience for a while. I’ll tell my friends. I would recommend to take this class even just for a few weeks. I’ll try to take the class next time as well. Thank you.

Do not hesitate to go to the staff for anything, they do everything to make your trip go well. The social program for those who wish to participate, starts at about 4pm after the afternoon lessons (for those who chose Intensive).

I was able to change my afternoon lessons for private lessons. They were great because they deducted the cost of afternoon lessons I did not take.

for the Italians: it's better for you to know that 50% of the students come from Italy..If you want to be sure to really talk always in English after the end of the lessons, it's better you consider to evaluate another town
