"It was useful and fun"

Fabian Hartl, student from Australia

After two years without practicing International house Bondi was a good refresher of my English skills, the teachers and students were nice, I would say it’s a good start when you arrive in a new host country.
on the other hand one day a week we do activities that have little interest in learning English and the exams should be more spaced, that’s only my opinion

"Professional school, great experience."

Zsuzsanna Nagy, student from Switzerland

The classes and the teachers were very professional, the location was good, pretty central. Unfortunately not enough female toilets, big waiting times in the breaks. I didn't participate in the activities and housing.
