"It was such a useful and funny experience."

Micaela Rosas, student from Italy

I think the best thing of the school was the perfect organization in everything (like the bus or the tours in different places)
Teachers are really kind and always there if you need them, in fact they never made me feel uncomfortable, so it was such a pleasure to know them. I also found great friends and I loved the responsibility and the generosity of the stuff.
