"It was great fun, but one week is too short, my learning experience was too small"

Moritz Lindlbauer, student from Austria

I liked a lot the location and the kind of class. The teacher was very nice and friendly. The first day activity a walk through Antibes was also a good opportunity to get to know the others.

Unfortunately I my expectations about my French learning were not fulfilled but it was funny. My classification was too low.

"It's great to meet so many guys from all over the world but I haven't learned French"

Paola Berizzi, student from Switzerland

I enjoyed meeting friends from all over the world.
I did not like the teaching of the French language which was not very engaging and honestly did not help me.
Didn't like the really low quality canteen.
The classes and the location were fine and were within expectations.

"A place were you experience interesting and new things."

Janna Bloemberg, student from Switzerland

Well, the Animateurs were great. They were young, funny, were always really nice and happy. Most of the professors were really nice to. I didn‘t really learn something new, I mostly just had a repetition of my knowledge. The school was big and had enough space for everyone. The location was okay. The individual activities were very good, but mostly a little short. The housing of my host family was okay. I slept two weeks with always one other girl. The space was not that big but since we were not there most of the time it was okay. The food was excellent! I was really happy that I could eat so good after a lunch in the cafeteria that wasn‘t great. The only things that I didn‘t line were the food on campus, the outgoing times and the hot classrooms.
