My class mates changed every week, so i could make many new friends. The teachers were very friendly and helpful. The school is small and lovely. I loved the table tennis table and the lunch room very much. We had every day a different social activity for everybody under 16 years. I never liked to go to school activities except there. My host mother cooked very unhealthy and I had not much space but she was friendly.
