Social experience: The school is big on quality and dedicates its time to ensuring that students reach their full potential during their stay at Express English College. Along with excellent teaching methodology and in class facilities there are also social activities that students can join outside the classroom to practise their English. A lunch club, conversation club and film club are all in-house activities that students can join on a daily basis to meet like minded people. Trips are also organised within the school and are either free or for a small fee so that you can explore all that this wonderful northern city has to offer.

Student reviews about Homestay
Jakub
"Unfortunately, accommodation with Mrs. was quite a traumatic experience for me. Terrible atmosphere. I felt like an intruder in Mrs. house. There was often no breakfast. I bought my own bread and marmalade - and these were my breakfasts. Dinners were meatless (e.g. pasta + cheese or ... sandwiches), because Mrs. was a vegetarian. I could only use the designated plate. There was no daily, hour-long conversation. I honestly hate this house. Definitely an unfriendly place!
