I appreciate it

It's really good, but the students are very disrespectful, especially after 10 p.m. Whether in the hallways or in the rooms, people never let you sleep. Otherwise, the classes are pretty good, the activities a bit expensive.

Ef San diego

I like Ef San diego, because of all of the activities we can do, the weather (which is rarely bad) and the people.

Being here at EF New York has made me grow as a person

Being here at EF New York has made me grow as a person. The experience has been life changing and truly amazing. The staff here are so sweet and try their best to help. For example Dri, MJ , Sam, some teachers like Alexis and just many others who elevate the experience. Though, I won’t lie not everything is great. Security isn’t good all the time and things just aren’t the best. They make some mistakes. And sometimes they don’t get the right class for you so you have to fight to get what you deserve. Oh! and when it comes to medical conditions…let’s say it teaches you how to deal with them and be more independent. This is an opportunity to grow as a person.
