Small class size (individualized attention), excellent and personable professors, students from varying nationalities and backgrounds
I'm not sure I was placed in the best level to suit my needs, but due to the small class sizes and great professors, everyone is challenged at the appropriate level.
The facilities were great, but the computer lab and wifi were not available the week I was there. Unless you have a smartphone with an international data plan, make sure you map out your day before you leave the house in the morning.
