Positive aspects of school
"Super nice teachers and staff, great programme, good group size, both in class and during the excursions! There was also enough free time to walk around the markets etc. in smaller groups or with friends. Wishes were also taken into account and implemented as well as possible! The food was of high quality and variety! In class, there was and still is a strong emphasis on group work, talking to other students and having fun while learning and speaking English. The projects, which were and are worked on in groups within a week, were well chosen and worked out! The atmosphere between class and teacher was excellent."

"In general I am satisfied with the course, but the quality of lessons very much depends on the teacher."
Negative aspects
"Groups were too big on some lessons. 45 minutes is too little for one class."

City/place
"Great city both to live in and for a shorter vacation or language study."
Accommodation
"I do not recommend the accommodation offered by the school. The room was very, very small, there was no space to store clothes or the suitcase. The room was very badly sound insulated which meant that in the room you could hear everything that was happening in the rooms next door, in the corridor and even on the lower floor. The room is absolutely not suitable for a longer stay i.e. more than a few days.
The room was clean, the bathroom well equipped.
I recommend taking advantage of the kitchen offer, meals were tasty and varied."
