General Comments

Overall recommendation:

Definitely NotAbsolutely

Best aspect:

This is an excellant international program with quality insttruction from some very prominent instructors. The building is beautiful and the food is healthy and delicious. The building is very beautiful. The French language classes in the morining.

Least liked about program:

The city is know for it's parties but students are not allowed to leave the building if they are under 16 and there is a 10 curfew if they are over 16.

Suggested changes to program:

The time. The classes began with French at 9 in the morning and went all day until 6:40 even on weekends so it made it difficult to have time to see any sights.

Culture of program:

The students come from all over so maybe only a few will be able to comunicate with each other.

Other comments:

There is a challenge getting there as you cannot check in until Sunday at 4:00 so you have to figure your travel around this time. There is no airport transportation and it's difficult to get a flight into the city.
