What our students said about Alicante

5.0

Rating: 5/5

Although it is touristy, it is very safe. In August, the temperatures were between 28° and 35° during the day. The beach is ok, but more beautiful is San Juan beach, which can be reached in 15 min by tram. Alicante has many good restaurants and places to go out. Recommended for a language course, as there are not too many Germans there and you can really immerse yourself in the language.

Nice for two weeks, then a bit boring. The harbour is nice, the beach section rather small. Between the beach/promenade and the sea is a main road. I found that annoying. Generally a lot of car traffic in the city. There are not so many sights to see. A few museums were still quite good.

Based around tourism and so there are many nationalities. Still clinging on to its Spanish identity. Lovely beaches and great castle. Very lively at night. Good transport links. Overall a great place to visit for a few weeks

Not very clean (but I think many southern European cities have that in common, especially the ones that are much visited), apart from that nice.

A small class size (8).
The programme advertised 'social activities' but as far as I could tell there were none! We were told to check the notice board but there was nothing on it except for a 'pub crawl' on the Friday night I was leaving. A pub crawl? - Really? Could do better!

The top quality education
The guided hike could have been divided in two. We walked for almost 4 hours and the last 2, it was not possible to concentrate... The teachers were highly qualified and engaged in the education. We stayed in a collective centrally located in the city (Air BnB) which was cheap and enjoyable because we got many new friends of different nationalities. They thought our course was expensive and exclusive, but I'm convinced it was worth every single Euro! I gained a great foundation that I practice on my own and that can quickly make me confident in speaking in the present tense. Now I'm ready for more grammar. I will definitely take another course - and it must be 2 weeks this time. It was great to have a meaningful activity during the holiday and plenty of time to get sunburned and party a bit on weekends. Spaniards become even nicer and service minded when you try to speak their language.
