Course recommendations

sometimes we have to much freetime (90 minutes in 10 days) and, on the other hand sometimes we have 10 hours of lessons in a day! but the quality of teacher is out of doubt very good!

it's a great life experience! living with students coming from all around the world it's simply fantastic! meet so many different cultures and discover that sometimes they are so close! living together like a big family, having problems like a big family, solve them like a family... the very best experience in my life!

Personal comments

it's a very good accomodation. we have our private room with internet access (LAN) and TV. it's wonderful to share a common space like our cafeteria with the other students (iternational and austrian ones): that give us the possibility to meet each other, spend time together, cooking together and studying together... as I already said, the very best experience in my life!
