Insider tips about what future students should not miss: The list goes on .... but I'd say get lost in the old medina, drink at least one fresh juice per day, obviously a mint tea, eat a tagine, try all types of breads, pancakes, fresh goat jben on its palm leaf, bathe in the waters of the beach Kabila, a trip to Zarka, talk to people, trees, and cats etc ...
Other comments: From the arrival at the airport til the departure from the airport, everybody was available and listening. The teachers are wonderful, lively, passionate and also patient :)

Other comments: Personal work after school is essential for progress! A working room within the school would be good for it!
To avoid in summer, too crowded !!! Moving was difficult (the throne party, with road closures and many police, army because of the coming of the King) and especially difficult to concentrate on the essay
