Very good teachers, very friendly and helpful staf, great location. The only thing that could be better: the very first day it was clear that the group level was too low for me, os the second day I could join a small group that was preparing for their stoefl exam and the next 1,5 week I just went along with them. Looking back it would have been better/more professional if they had tested me (the online before hand was too easy) and would have worked out with me a programm to work on my weak spots.
