Student comments about "Super Intensive English"
Yoshie:
"I took 30 hours/week course. I had morning class as well as afternoon class.
Both use the same textbook, they even do the same page
If the school still do this course, I think it's a good idea to reconsider the content. "

Student comments
Aleksei: "There are two good features in this accomodation family:
1. Location. Despite it located in suburb of Dublin, its a simple to go to central part of the city by train. Only 15 min by walk to train station, 40 min going by train and 10-15 min walking to the school (which located near the Stephans Green park).
2. Home's owner a friendly woman, she can talk with students on different themes, her pronunciation a quite clear.
Minuses.
(!) Very important thing - I write about common things, but understand, that Dublin is a expensive city and its a very difficult to find cheep and good accommodation there.
1. Room's size. It's very small. It consist only bed and something like 'raised floor' ('rised corner') in the corner, there items could be put.
2. Dust in the room. Too many, especially under the bed. Its very bad for me because when someone spend nights in small room he breath this air... dusty air. Fortunately, at second's day I had cleaned the room properly.
3. Heater. When I prepared to trip I asked someone of yours about heating, and you said me that it'll ok. But some Russian students adviced to take thermal underwear. That's was good choice! Because heater worked only in evenings, 2-3 hours, and not all evenings. So, I'd be really cold to sleep unless I'd taken thermal underwear.
So, I hope next same journey I'll try to find accommodation with better conditions. I think I'll spend more much money for this, but room for living more comfortable.
p.s. unfortunately, I didn't get use to Irish meals. Especially salty fries potatoes. So, its a difficult to say something about meals. But I was very happy when I returned and could eat soup )"
