Really good school -

Best experience ever had in NYC with EF -

My ef experience- New York Ef made My experience unforgettable. I've been on the New York campus for a month, the facilities are very functional and the campus is spacious. The staff is very helpful in the scheduled working hours, when you need help in a not scheduled hour there is always security available. New York is easily accessible from the campus (bus or train) , which is located in Tarrytown. Teachers are prepared and ready to help students when they need it, the lessons are interactive and not boring at all. Ef can combine the study and refinement of a new language with getting to know and make friends with many people from different parts of the world, it will be an unforgettable experience... just like mine!

DCU in Dublin My experience was is Dublin. I’ve had a lot of fun and also I met amazing people from everywhere. Since I became home I miss all the things of Dublin: my roommates, the terrible food, my classmates, the terrible weather and also the amazing view. Dublin now is my home, and every minutes and every hours I miss it. :)

My six months in Alexandria, Louisiana. My American experience in Louisiana was extraordinary. In January 2023 when I was about to leave Italy heading to the USA, I was very excited and joyful, but on the other hand, I was extremely scared owing to the fact that it was my first time doing this kind of activity. Fortunately, my half-year in Louisiana ended up being full of happiness and gratitude for my host family. To be honest, I heard of negative experiences with some students who have participated in this program with EF, but as far as I am concerned, I cannot say anything but thank you so much to my host family, my American and fellow European friends, and all the people who have contributed to the process of making my six months abroad unforgettable and full of great memories. Organizing my daily life, learning a new language, and being responsible for my actions made me independent and a new person. Living in a new city, speaking a new language, and sharing my days with new people helped me find out new aspects of my personality and all these things played a vital role in my personal growth as a person. It might look like a fairy tale, but it was truly a wonderful and educational journey. I have chosen EF because of its great reputation and I would choose EF again for its many opportunities besides one year/half-year program abroad such as signing up for the Ambassador program or the many Summer camps in several places around the world. I tremendously recommend embracing the idea of participating in an exchange year program as I had a stunning experience with EF and this is a life-long experience in terms of making international friendships and discovering new cultures, food, traditions, and people from another country. I'm Italian, but I like the idea of being a European citizen and not being rash, maybe one day a citizen of the world.
