Montpellier ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Montpellier
What our students said about Montpellier
The city is beautiful, with a small old center. You can inspect everything in 3-4 days. There are two buses to the beach nearby. The beach is gorgeous, better than in Nice, very similar to the beaches in Goa, in India, where there is a place for everyone. The sea is calm. There are a lot of strange people (young Frenchmen) in the city on the streets, such as homeless people with dogs, asking for money. Sometimes you get the impression of a slightly dirty city. I was not returning home late and had no problems.
Russia
Well the school location is Amazing, just in the heart of the city in the way that I've imagined, surrounded by very French 18 century Palace Particulaire that I love. Public transport to get into the school from where I was living was great and very efficient.
Brazil
Honestly goes for most towns / cities but it's quite dangerous to go back home any later than 1 am if you're a woman. Also, I've heard from people who got robbed quite easily.
England UK
The city is lovely and fun to stroll around, and there are many different types of stores. I recommend this place as it is easy to get to from Paris by TGV.
Japan
It’s nice enough and was to get to nearby places, despite the train strike (which I have had to deal with every single time I have been in France).
Finland
Climate?! Is anyone to blame? It was a little hot, but I think it was a uniquely hot week. I might find a place closer to water in the future.
In summer, it's hot. However, you enjoy the life in the South of France. You live under the clear blue sky every day!! I really enjoyed it.
Japan
Public transport in the city is good, but it is complicated to impossible to travel by public bus to the surrounding area.
Austria
Montpellier is amazing! Safe, interesting, friendly, situated near many other fascinating towns that were fun to visit.
Canada
I would rank it as one of my favorite cities in the world. I would like to come back one day for a longer visit.
Canada
In our week and due to the lack of free time due to the bad planning, we saw little of Montpellier.
Netherlands

Lessons ok so far. Less monologues by the teacher would be better. Even better would be more frequent changes of method

Course: Standard Course - 1 week

The school is in the city centre and is well organised. There is also a tram stop nearby.
The teachers are good and helpful, the lessons interesting.
The environment is very friendly and the students come from all over the world (many from Germany and England).
Essential to get to know the people is the city tour on the first day.
30 August 2022
Course: Standard Course - 2 weeks
Student age: 20 years
The variety of countries the students came from and a few older students. The additional afternoon course was very good for both teachers and students.
I was a little disappointed when I participated in this school 5 years ago because of the difference in the level of the teachers, but this time I found it to be even worse. It may be that there is a shortage of teachers due to COVID, etc., but I expect that the teachers should be of a certain level or higher since I paid high tuition fees to take classes in France (the teachers at my school in Japan were definitely of a higher level).
