"Good!"

Maria Isabel Almeida, student from Portugal

I liked the location of the school and the facilities were good except the classrooms and the hallways and the computer study room as they were not clean and the room furniture and carpet were very old and uncomfortable
I liked the teachers.
The homestay had a problem for me because they were far from the school, in the 2nd house I didn't like the food even though the room was better than the first house.
