Cork ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience
What our students said about Cork
I would recommend it, it is worth a visit, a lot of interesting places to see, people are very friendly, helpful. Public transport is excellent, great bus connections, the buses are sometimes late, but this also has its charm. Safe
Perfect size to reach everything on foot as the buses are not reliable. However, there are good deals for students u to get cheap bus tickets (leapcard). The city felt very safe and clean.
I recommend it to those who want a safe place with English as the official language, a few Japanese, and a little bit of the countryside but still want to keep prices low.
Highly recommended and very different from the general British way of being.
It is a nice, pleasant city, quiet and very clean and safe.
Peaceful, lively and very nice city.

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Cork
Already answered in the evaluations, but I would like to mention the teacher assigned to me (John), wo had got a lot of empathy and was very professional. And a very special and affectionate mention for Mayara, from reception, who helped us a lot and in everything she could, making us feel very comfortable and greatly reducing the logical nervousness of our level of English.
