Review: Great for short stay, not for long stay.
My first impression about this school was they only wants the students' money without a sufficient service in return. As a student coming from a non-EU country, I was treated bad and so my other friends would say. The Manager, especially, didn't really care with my problems (course and accommodation) and basically just want me to shut up and go to the class, although, I already paid for a 30 week course.

There were 9 people in my class, but the students in the class was varied from different level. For example, some people in my class didn't even have sufficient learning to be able to follow the class, and yet they were put in my class. As a result, we had to repeat the things that had already been covered on the week before the new people came. These students even mentioned to the teacher that they should had been put in a lower level. But, the teacher admitted the administration and coordination of this school is very bad and maybe the school just doesn't want to have a new class with only 3 people in it. Later during my course, I found out that another girl in my class was also not happy with the school because she was supposed to be in a higher level (her online test showed that too!) but the school put her in a much lower level because of the reason that the class she was supposed to be in was full.

I have to agree with Jen from Seattle, one of my teachers was slow and dragging a lot of time and we ended up learning only a few things.

I was pretty lucky with my accommodation, because although it was not great but it was much better than what my other friends had. The shared apartments are indeed in 15-20 minutes walking distance. One of my frieds have to stay at a horrible (dirty, messy, noisy) place provided by the school because the room that he was supposed to stay was not ready until 3 days later. Another friend couldn't sleep at night, because the apartment that she was staying always had a party at night until 4am in the morning. Moreover, there were 14 people in the flat with only 2 bathrooms! How horrible is that?

So, my advice is, if you want to go to this school, take the course for no longer than 2 months. But personally, I won't recommend this school to any of my friends. If you want to learn Spanish for a long period, find other school which is better, proffesional and treat students with respect.
