What our students said about Samara

I felt safe. I appreciated the beach and the local restaurants. I bought some light shirts because it was so hot. Everyone was nice. I didn't take public transportation while I was there. I enjoyed a little nightlife.

As a woman traveling alone it was not possible to try the night life. The dogs are out of control and unpredictable. They also defend the families on the beach.

Mirjam Switzerland

The city in combination with the beach is great. Lots of opportunities for social life or just the beach. Overall also recommended for longer stays.

Janine Germany

Samara is very nice compared to San Jose: there are no barbed wires around the houses. Still it would not be wise to wander around night time.

Hannele Finland

The nightlife isn't that good, except for the Arriba bar. The groceries are very expensive. Apart from that Sámara is a city in paradise.

Bastian Germany

Nice little town on the beach with many souvenir shops, pubs and restaurants. Unfortunately, many of them were closed at the time.

The nice thing about Sámara is the beach, otherwise the town or village doesn't offer much. There are some excellent restaurants

Christa Switzerland

Samara is a small place on a fantastic bay, with quite a lot of tourist shops and bars. It's a bit of real "Tico" life.

The school was excellent. During the three weeks I was there I had two teachers. They were both very good. The school was well organized and the office staff were very nice and helpful. The school was clean and well organized. I appreciated that the classrooms had 4-6 students and they were air conditioned. I have only good things to say about the school.
