Questions and answers about EF International Language Center

I need to know how many weeks minimum accommodation can be contracted at the EF San Diego Campus.
“The EF school can offer you accommodation only for the duration of your course. Alternatively, you can book, for example, accommodation only for the first 2 weeks of your course and find your own accommodation for the rest of your stay, or you can choose not to book accommodation with the school and find your own.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.

The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.

I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.
