Additional information
Positive aspects of school
I particularly enjoyed the activities and being made to feel so cared for and welcomed. I met so many new people that I am still in touch with and everyone was keen to get to know each other, which contributed to a great atmosphere. The programme makes you find like-minded people. The staff were also friendly and engaged with us young people, as many of them are relatively young too.
Negative aspects
What I liked less was that the learning consisted mostly of group discussions. I missed writing and sometimes the teacher didn't give us any assignments for a long time (she corrected our diary entries that we wrote at the beginning of the lesson) and the rest of us had to sit and chat. The pick-up for the return journey also felt rather inefficient: you were picked up eight hours before the flight departure, yet it was just right.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Make sure you eat fruit and veg when you can, because otherwise you'll get mostly bread. In general, just be yourself, because no one is more interesting than you and no one will be offended by you taking the initiative to start a conversation, believe me!
City/place
It is super nice and quite picturesque with small shops and nice people. However, the buses are sometimes a bit unpredictable.
