Irina

5.0
“I liked the attitude of the staff and teachers most of all. Everyone is very friendly and nice. Always ready to help and explain, so that you do not feel uncomfortable.
The teachers are very qualified. The classes are conducted according to the program, but at the same time they often discuss some pressing issue, which involves all the students and at the same time you get something new. Everything happens in a seemingly relaxed and friendly atmosphere, but at the same time all the lessons are intense.”
Insider tip: “Next time, I would indicate that the host family should consist of no more than two people. I lived in a house for 6 people (including me) and there was one bathroom, which is inconvenient.
I also didn't eat often at home, because I often attended excursions, and I walked in the evenings. Ie I did not use full boarding on weekends even once within 3 weeks, but I'd paid for it.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: The course consisted of a very small group! The teachers answered all of our questions and paid a lot of attention. Unfortunately my Monday started at lesson 12 ... the topic was festival - uninteresting for me ...Other comments: The building is in a good location. The condition of the building is in need of renovation! The toilets are a disaster.

Student comments about Homestay
Massimiliano
"I start by saying that we paid for full board on weekends, paying 15 euro each for lunch per weekend and we just received a skimpy sandwich with an apple and a little package of chips. For dinner, they gave us normal food but not enough proportioned to the amount we paid.
Moreover, many times I asked for napkins after breakfast (we did not have one) and I was told that they hadn't and I should have bought my owns.
The bathroom was crooked and very small and every time I was at the toilet I had to lean backwards, having back pain.
Furthermore, we have been checked every time we were out of our room because being suspected of being thieves (this is just my opinion).
The last day of our stay, which we paid utterly, at 14.00 we have been "nicely" accompanied out because they had to host other students.
I do not advise this family to anyone.
