"It was okay."

Lina Kubur, student from Australia

On the whole, the 7 weeks at MCC were okay. The facilities were good, there was a kitchen with microwaves, fridge, etc. I also found the excursions well organized & at a good price (for example, I visited the Great Ocean Road & was very happy with that). I took the Advanced Level & for being the "highest" level, it was far too easy. In addition, Advanced and Upper Intermediate were taught together, so the teacher couldn't concentrate on just one class, which I didn't like either. Personally, I would recommend this school to people who are just starting to learn English or to those who can speak rudimentary English.

"Good experience"

HUGO ISSHIKI, student from Japan

The class was small class and teacher was kind. The location is good. But, there are a lot of language school in this building. So I couldn't catch the lift in the morning.
