“Good environment, teachers, everything is good. The programme is good. Well done.”
“Classroom is overcrowded.
In my opinion, it is more productive when there are no more than 10-12 students in a class.
I have experience in other schools (other languages).”

Insider tip: “Please check the accommodation information carefully so that there are no surprises.
And keep in mind that the first day is an organisational day, without studying. This is important only for those who are travelling for a short period of time)”
