Hawaii is an adventure that many students have been waiting their whole lives to experience.

According to US Smart Asset, Hawaii is ranked #2 as the safest state in the U.S. Hawaii has low crime rates, healthy outdoor lifestyle and aloha spirit!

Attitude and understanding.

Course: General English (16) - 2 weeks
Student age: 48 years
I love the people who work there, the activities and the great location.
My accommodation was great. I stayed in an 8-person female dorm room in Waikiki Beachside Hostel. At first I thought that would be crowded but later I was happy to choose that. Hostel was great and clean, you have a kitchen and bathroom in the room and you share it with at most 7 other people. It was a great opportunity to meet more people and practice English. And also it was a great walk by the beach from hostel to the school everyday. I saw lots of rainbows :)
