"My stay in Toronto has been an amazing experience for me."

Michael Christopher van Klaveren, student from Belgium

I have only been in Toronto for a short while, but I really enjoyed my time there.
The main reason of my stay was to complete the course for Flight Attendant, but I also did a course of General English which I liked as well.

In the school you communicate with different students from all over the world.
I found this very interesting, because you get to know a lot about another country or culture.

The teachers were very friendly and they teached in a easy way so everyone knew what they where talking about.

The school is situated in a nice area of Toronto and not that far from my homestay family.
The only thing I didn't like about it was all the construction on the way to my school,
it sometimes took me more than an hour to get there by bus.

The school has got all the modern facilities they need I think and although I didn't have time to do the activities with the school
I know they organize lovely trips to all kind of interesting destinations.

Last but not least I had a fantastic time at my homestay family.
Everyone has taken such good care of me during my stay, so I want to thank them a lot for everything they did for me.
