Dubai, also spelled Dubayy, is the largest city in the United Arab Emirates. It is located on the south-east coast of the Persian Gulf, in the Arabian Desert, and is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the country. Dubai is known for luxury shopping, modern architecture, and a lively nightlife scene. Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, dominates the skyscraper-filled skyline. Real Estate and tourism drive the economy, and there seems to be a never-ending development of innovative and over-the-top projects.. There are so many fantastic things to do and places in Dubai – from stunning beaches to super rooftop bars, massive world-class nightclubs to desert escapes.

In short, I am satisfied with my experience at the school. My goal was to summarize what I've learned so far, review familiar material, and expand and enhance my vocabulary.
As a result of studying at the school, my English has noticeably improved. However, it's worth mentioning that I engaged in a lot of independent studying outside of class.
The school provides students with a wealth of new information, which is great. However, personally, I sometimes felt there was insufficient active practice with recently learned concepts. Not all teachers offered enough conversational practice during their classes; instead, they focused more on writing tasks, sometimes without providing feedback. I believe this may not be the most effective way to utilize class time. Therefore, in my opinion, simply attending all the classes might not be enough to see significant improvement. Students should find ways additional ways to practice new concepts as much as possible to better internalize and transition from passive to active usage.
As for teachers, it's challenging to assess my overall satisfaction with the teachers at the school, as the quality of classes varies greatly. However, there is one teacher I would like to commend for his hard work: Adrian. In my opinion, he is the best English teacher ever! I would give him a rating of 5+. Not only is Adrian a great teacher who can engage even the most laid-back students in the learning process, but he is also a well-rounded, highly intelligent individual with extensive knowledge of the language he teaches.
Regarding the school facilities, there is nothing to complain about. The location is excellent and easily accessible by metro or tram. However, one thing to mention is the poor soundproofing between rooms. At times, it was difficult to focus on certain activities or even hear the teacher or classmates clearly due to noise from neighboring classrooms.
As for social programs, I have not been able to join any due to the intensity of my course schedule. However, from what I have heard and seen, the social life must be fantastic.
Student residences are more suitable for an independent student, who is looking for clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. All students must be 16+. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Student residences often do not include any meal plan.
