Students are active participants and learn grammar, vocabulary and common expressions by working and speaking with their classmates. The extra 10 lessons in this course allow for much extra time learning and practicing all of the skills, so students can speak and communicate at a much faster speed.

Le location was close to my host family and it was easy to me to come to school. In the classroom you weren’t able to isolate yourself thanks to lots of group exercises and discussion about actual themes. My classmates have been really friendly and the teacher too.

It was challenging and I just forgot about my insecurities in that class because my classmates and teachers told me it's okay to make mistakes. I was happy that I chose the semi-intensive course because I had enough time to spend after or before school. The teachers were nice, especially Monica and Charlene, I liked Charlene's lessons the most because we did some nice activities sometimes.
I stayed in the Barrington Plaza, a great apartment, but we missed some kitchen utensils and the house keep didn't show up a few times. But it was okay, the location is perfect. Zuma housing wasn't very helpful, when I wanted to help my roommate with asking questions they said that she had to contact them on her own. But the reason I helped her was because her English wasn't very good.
Teachers were great! It's good that one student has many different kinds of teachers (age, background and gender). The location was very suitable for me - I was able to go by bike. Activities didn't interest me at all. They were over priced, and we were able to connect with each other and made up activities of our own with my classmates.

My English was even better than their's! Their apartment was horrible. I didn't have enough lights in my room; it was too dark. Also, the apartment didn't have an airconditioner , so I hardly could sleep due to the high temperature in my room. I already talked to the person who was in charge of host families, and to the accommodations at the school. He promised to find me another host family as soon as possible, but he didn't . He claimed that he couldn't find a host family for me, but I am sure that he didn't make an effort to find me one.
I didn't like the teaching methods at my school. We had combined classes of grammar, speaking, listening, reading, and writing . We should have had separated classes for each - that would have been much better. Also, there were a lot of teachers who didn't speak English as their first language. Some of them were really good, but there were some teachers who had an accent; their English didn't sound so natural.
I would never recommend this school to anyone, unless they want to waste their money.
Thank you very much for this opportunity. For me, everything was good. The school was nice and I think it is one of the best in USA. The location was good too. I liked Santa Monica very much; it is a nice area. All the activities in school were good and very important because here you can find many people from abroad and get so much experience with that. The people who work in school were amazing; even the teachers. With them, I learned many things.
I will speak about the house, which was one thing more important for me. The family I stayed with were very good people - Helen and Harry were fantastic. I love them and they will be in heart forever. The way they treated me.. I have no words. They are a loving family.
I like my classes because there were students from different part of the world.
The teachers were well prepared and I learned many new things with them.
The school is in a great location just few minutes away from the beach and really easy to reach by bus.
I liked the classes. EC was located in a beautiful city. Teachers delivered a highly effective intensive course. I didn't like some students who were talking non-English languages during classes.
I prefer not to have the same nationalities in the same class.
First off, a big issue was with my homestay, and no one from EC even tried to solve the problem. I went back to my sister-house, and also no one talked to me. After couple of weeks, a staff came to me to ask about the issue... But for what? Then she asked me about how EC can improve.
Let me tell you something! We have English schools in our country, and I studied in a school that had English classes each day, but the issue was about my community who spoke Arabic. How could I practice my English? The homestay should be an important part of my trip.
As non-American people, when we come to your country to study, we want to feel safe! So when I told one of your staff in EC that I wanted to change my homestay for more than one reason, she should have helped me find a new homestay, not just make me calm down and let me go. She didn't even try to do anything!
The English classes were good, but there is this teacher named Nancy. She wasn't kind. She wanted to teach only, not to make us like what she was doing.
My classmates were good, but they were much older than I was, so I couldn't find a good friend to spend the time with until the last week, because he was from Turkey.
I always try to find the good angle from everything to make myself happy, which is why I don't see this as a very bad experience.
The school has good facilities, good teachers, and an excellent location. Good quality housing was provided by the school! Thanks.

Vi kan ikke ansøge om visa på vejne af elever. Men skolen kan give dig alt den dokumentation du skal bruge når du ansøger om dit visa.
Hvis du studerer på fuld tid i USA i mere end 18 timer om ugen, vil du modtage en I-20, som du skal indsende til den amerikanske ambassade sammen med din F-1 studentvisamansøgning. I-20'et har et SEVIS tracking nummer på sig. Studerende, der ønsker at ansøge om et studentvisa skal betale SEVIS gebyret online før de går til den amerikanske ambassade eller konsulat for deres visa interview.
Din I-20 vil blive sendt til din hjemadresse med almindelig post uden omkostninger for dig. Hvis du ønsker at modtage dine papirer som ekspresforsendelse, vil du blive opkrævet $80, når du tilmelder dig.
Bemærk venligst, at De Forenede Staters lov siger, at en I-20 kun kan udstedes til studerende, der agter at forfølge fuldtids engelskstudier. Amerikansk lovgivning tillader ikke de studerende at studere på deltid med en F-1 Student Visa. Hvis du studerer mindre end 18 timer om ugen, skal du søge om et besøgende Visa (B1/B2) på egen hånd.
