What our students said about Busan

3.0

If you are interested in history, Busan is the right place for you. Gyeongju is not far away and you can take great day trips there (self-organized or with a tour). There is also a lot to see in Busan itself and the sea is right on your doorstep.

I think I was able to stay in the best season. The weather was mild and I was able to see cherry blossoms in full bloom.

The class size was small and the lessons were really intensive. The students came from many different countries, and communicating with them was also an enjoyable experience for me.
