What our students said about Sao Paulo

5.0

Rating: 5/5

It is worth studying at school. Paulistas said that São Paulo was a dangerous city. I think that during the day it's not too risky. The air quality wasn't bad, and the people were kind. Next time I would like to drink coconut water.

Very nice staff. The teachers were very knowledgeable. I had to end the course early because I unexpectedly received a job offer in Germany. The school was very accommodating and only charged me for the hours I had teamed up and not the entire course that I had booked.

The teachers were very personable.
I left after 3 weeks as it was a total waste of time and money. I would not be able to recommend them. My concerns were brought to the school as well.
