"The first and best experiences at the Sheffield."

RAEEON KIM, student from South Korea

The teachers and classmates were so friendly and energetic. A month was a short period but Raeeun can have experience four different language skills. Especially, we are in Korea do not have much practice of speaking and writing.

We are satisfied with studying in the Sheffield but one thing we want to suggest is that there is no right place to have lunch.
The manager said we can have lunch in the classroom but we still feels uncomfortable.
