Student comments

Rating: 3.0/5.0

Agnes : "Hotel Best Western Metropoli had an excellent location, close to school and city center. Enrolled in school with different expectations: improving my Italian language. For me it was one big repetition and actually I barely improved my language. Repetitions and refreshments are allowed, but in my opinion they should continue faster. The listening and speaking sessions were OK, conversations mostly continued between students, with of course everyone making their own mistakes, which unfortunately were not corrected. Also, the tasks were usually improved mutually between students and often without additional checks by the teacher (if we had both filled in the same thing, would it have been correct?). The 2nd week we were in the classroom with about 8 students and had expected more follow-up from school regarding disturbing and unnecessary cell phone use during lessons, as well as disturbing latecomers, with lesson delay. We had enrolled in course 50+ but given too few candidates there were more young people in the class and in retrospect this was also better."

Rating: 3.0/5.0

Godelieve: "It is a shame that we did not only have lessons with 50+ students. 18 year olds have different goals when learning Italian. Coming and going (disrespectful and rude) was also annoying. 1 hour late. Teachers, on the other hand, could take stricter measures."

Student comments

Rating: 5.0/5.0

 5.0
Alison: "The tenants did not permit lights turned on when necessary, making the hallway pitch black at night. During daytime, it was dark too. They wanted to keep all the doors and windows closed, and the hallway was very dark even during daytime. There is no living room there. The kitchen was sometimes dirty because someone did not wash the dishes they had used after cooking. The shower has drainage problem, and sometimes the tenants did not clean the shower, leaving hair on the floor. Some tenants even cooked at midnight and talked after 1 am in the kitchen. Once they washed clothes at 3 am, disturbing me. On my second night, I heard furniture moving at 4 am, and I was scared because I did not know if the apartment was haunted. The darkness in the apartment was scary. However, the tenants would turn on the lights when they wanted. Once I went out at about midnight to go to the washroom and the hallway lights were on, although no-one was outside. What was uncomfortable was that the tenants would confront you to turn off the lights or they turned them off in front of you. They even asked me to buy garbage bags, but at the beginning I was told that I could use them. I used only a few, but I had to buy some, I just left 8 to 10 clean garbage bags. I used a sponge to clean the sink, and someone took it away. They even wanted me to throw their garbage "
