What we dislike about the school
  • Younger students should consider that the average age of students at this school is significantly higher than at most other schools.
  • Nationality mix could be more balanced. 50 of students are from Spain
  • Do not offer favorable cancellation terms in the case of a student getting a visa rejected.
