“Cool people, open-minded, very nice teachers, very pleasant atmosphere, good facilities.”
“More leisure activities, more individual learning programme”
Insider tip: “Talk to as many locals as possible and take advantage of the school's leisure activities. Do the city tour and Ghost Walk and try as many pubs and restaurants as possible.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: It was very general and not tailored specifically to my (short) stay. But it was absolutely OK to get into speaking and to take away a few specific learning points.
