"It was insane to meet so many people from different countries."

Christian Herrmann, student from Germany

It was a so cool location. In the city of Cambridge, the architecture was wonderful. My teacher Oli was the best teacher. He made a lot of fun in the Class, and we made very cool staff. The Guys in my classes. They were very funny we learned together, that was very cool. The activities in Cambridge are very beautiful. The river "Cam" is cool you can ride by boat there and see all the universities. The kings college is a big building with a big garden outside. It is very nice. My apartment was cool. I had a single room with kitchen so cool myself. But the restaurants in Cambridge a very delicious.it was a wonderful experience to met so many people from different countries. They are so friendly and funny. I will do it again.

"One week course was too short for me."

Enni Nurmi, student from Finland

Location of the school was fine for me (even though the address changed from Guildhall Place to Burleigh Street)
Facilities were good too, Wi-Fi worked well. The speakers on the first day (introduction) were very clear and it was nice and easy to listen to them. The tour with the Portuguese girl was nice.

The group on the first day was not the best for me. I felt myself "too good" in this group. It was not possible to have any conversation with them.

I would like to have talked more, and not to study so much unimportant words, e.g. country names. I have studied them at school many times. Homework and exercises were mostly okay, but maybe they were too easy at the beginning.

The teacher was not the best possible for me - I'm not so interested in history of the buildings and buying Christmas cards and food for his family. There were too many breaks on the sight seeing tour too, just to rest and smoke - and I'm more interested in sports.

Some parts on the last two days were almost too difficult for me, e.g some preposition exercises. But mostly they were okay.

I feel that I didn't get enough speaking exercise - which was the original aim. But I got more self confidence anyway. I can manage alone abroad.

"Definitely helpful"

Tommaso Poli, student from Italy

I found availability and kindness from everyone. The accommodation was perfect in terms of both residence and the family. When I had a little problem with my first family, it was immediately solved really carefully. The teachers and the system of teaching allowed me to increase my IELTS score from 6.5 to 7.5, with a peak in reading and writing where I got respectively 9 and 6.5, in just one month (with an important personal effort).

I have to thank everyone at EC School of Cambridge for this important result!

"I would like to say it is a great school to learn more in English and to increase your level"

ANTHONY PETARD, student from France

I don't have a lot of time to explain my great experience. The teachers are really excellent and the support team is really efficient in helping students. It's a nice school with nice teachers. The location is really good. We are near to the city centre and the facilities outside and inside (I'm talking about in the school) are very good. I think the most important thing for me is the quality of teaching. Of course classes, too. Inside everything is comfortable.

"One week is not enough"

Tatjana Jevtjukova, student from Estonia

Excellent school location in the city center. I liked that the class had few students (5-6), and the teacher could give attention to everyone. I did not like that extra lessons (Intensive English) were taught to a mixed group where students had different levels of knowledge, and it was hard to me.

"I didn`t feel intensive language acquisition"

Nina, student from Russia

I liked the convenient location of the school and the opportunity to visit other cities in the weekend. I didn`t like that I lived in a separate house without any conveniences. The school does not have an individual approach to students.

"A great experience for those who want to have it for more than 4 weeks."

Andreaa Hrinca, student from Romania

I liked: - teachers - administrative staff - administrative staff attitude I did not like: - the time I spent was too short and I had not the chance to change the group I work with (my level was higher and some of the lessons were boring for me)

"Organized chaotically, but overall a good experience and fun"

oberrauch sophia, student from Austria

the size of class was good, two teachers were ok, one was horrible, teachers weren´t organized (should make a test but cd for listening wasn´t found; copies weren´t made...), what I learnd, I didn´t learn at school but being together with new friends after school.
the housing was ok, but I was booked to another family and 4 students just were to many in one tiny house. I wanted to stay in a english family to get in contact with the english way of life, but my host family wasn´t english at all.
It was o.k. but I don´t think that I can recommend it to friends.

"It was an experience I will never forget"

Enar García Aguilar, student from Spain

The classes were very good, especially the ones that we did speaking, that I learned a lot. The teachers were very nice and friendly with us. The location for me was horrible because I was with a family that lives in the other side of the city, in Trumpington so, everyday I had a lot of problems to get to the school. The activities were also very good I had a lot of fun. The housefamily was fantastic! (but it was not boked by the school)

"Short but nice learning experience."

Simona Gitu, student from Romania

Overall, was a nice learning experience, but because I had only a week for my classes, and this week was part of a 3 months program, I felt that the classes were not customized to my needs.
I really enjoyed the classes with John Walker and Simon ...(sorry, but I don't remember the last name).

"Not enough teatcher a class are full"

Salima SIMON, student from France

After 5 weeks in EC school Cambridge, I think there are very good think for a students but it miss very other.

I think a teacher are fine and they try to do them best, but a classes are very full, and unfortunatly a rooms are very small.

I think EC cambridge should have more teatchers.

I can to give you an exemple, I want to have a one to one classes and I paid , but in my first week I didn't have this one to one classes because there weren't enough teachers, it not serious, and anybody give me informations about what I paid and about what I lost ??? for that I try to find a solution.

I live in a Hills road residence, I had some problems in the first week ""a shower doesn't work in my singleroom!!"" but fortunatelly a people of the school find a solution and I could take my shower all days.

But seriously , I try before EC another school , and I think a quality of the lessons and a residence are better in EC.

Thank you

Salima

"I want to say first that my school was in Cambridge and not in London. But every thing was very good. I've really enjoyed it."

Mariangela Meyer, student from Switzerland

Every thing was good, teacher, classmates, my host Family was wonderful, I'll miss my host dog as well, that was in my room quite every morning to say me good morning. So, was a good experience for me. The EC team really knows what a student of foreign Language needs.

Living with a family in Cambridge will give you a great view of all the different cultures and ethnicities that Cambridge has to offer.

Choose between a single or twin room. Each room is furnished with a bed and a closet to store your personal belongings and clothes. If there is not a desk in your room, the host family will provide you with a quiet place to study. It is important that rooms and living areas are kept neat and tidy.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from EC Cambridge. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 75 when you register.

Flights and airport transfer

The school offers airport pickup services. If you wish to be picked up, just give us your flight details and arrival date. The price of a one-way airport transfer from London Stansted Airport is £ 150. You must book your airport transfer in advance when you register.

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Cambridge based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.
