What our students said about Auckland

Auckland is a wonderful city with many parks and green spaces. The friendliness and helpfulness of the people make the city particularly likeable. The geographical location by the sea with many beaches is very appealing.

Sondra Germany

I think it's fine for short-term sightseeing, but compared to Japan, it's too rural and the prices are too high. I don't drink alcohol, so I didn't go out at night, but other students were having fun at bars and clubs.

I like the school's learning atmosphere and experienced teachers very much. The morning classes are compact and efficient, and the afternoon oral classes are interesting. At the end of the day, the school also arranges many interesting extra-curricular activities, in which we can make friends from different countries and communicate in English. All in all, Worldwide is a great language school.
