Sebastian Urgel Salinas, student from Bolivia

Everything was excellent. The family was the best that I could have ever had. Teachers very nice and professional. They cared for my personal needs and helped me improve a lot. The size of the classes is perfect for personal follow-up and attention. The facilities are plenty and well equipped. My students group was very friendly. The social activities were very well organized and fun.

Climate a bit tough but a new experience for me.
