Muy buen ambiente entre los profesores que provoca que la relación entre los alumnos de los distintos niveles sea positiva. Muy buena residencia con un gran ambiente. El único problema es que no funciona el aire acondicionado y hace mucho calor dentro de la habitación (solución: abrir la ventana)

J'appréhendais de partir dans un pays étranger toute seule comme ça, mais j'en ressort avec une expérience inoubliable.Dublin et l'Irlande sont vraiment super, autant les paysages que les gens. Je suis allée dans BSC Dublin, c'était une nouvelle école donc les choses étaient en train de changer pour le mieux.L'école est très bien située, très bien aménagée et le staff est formidable. Les professeurs sont géniales, ils sont là pour nous aider pour n'importe quoi.Entre le matin et l'après midi, on n'avait pas forcement le même professeur et c'est très bien parce qu'on voit des techniques d'apprentissages complémentaires.Le fait de pouvoir faire des activités à l'extérieur étaient une bonne initiative en plus de tout le reste. Ma famille d'accueil était adorable. On parlait tous les jours ensemble.J'étais libre pour mes heures de repas et pour rentrer le soir. ESL m'a permis d'avoir accès à un séjour linguistique en répondant à toutes mes questions. Et je n'ai don pas eu à m'occuper de quoi que ce soit.L'école BSC Dublin est une nouvelle école et elle mérité d'être mise en lumière parce qu'elle est vraiment géniale autant pour l'apprentissage que pour l'atmosphère.

« Oui, j'ai progressé parce que je devais parler quotidiennement avec des étudiants étrangers et en classe.J'ai l'impression que j'ai réussi à intégré des notions essentielles de grammaires par exemple, mais pas seulement un apprentissage bête et méchant, plutôt une vrai comprehension dans le language quotient.J'ai vraiment progressé à l'oral, parce que c'était l'essentiel de notre travail et je me sens capable maintenant de tenir une conversation correctement. »

L'école est vraiment très bien, propre et claire, bien située. En revanche, je pensais être dans des classes avec des nationalités plus variées. Je ne connais pas réellement mon niveau de fin et de début... L'âge moyen des étudiants était un peu jeune, pas très varié.J'ai beaucoup apprécié l'accès à la plateforme en ligne Le gros point négatif de ce séjour : le logement était très loin de l'école (50 minutes), la formule demi-pension n'était donc pas du tout pratique pour profiter de la ville, contraignant au niveau des horaires. J'ai loupé plusieurs repas du soir. Litige avec l'hôte concernant les horaires de douche. Malgré la réaction très exagérée de l'hôte je la recommande parce que c'est une femme malgré tout sympathique et que sa réaction a du être amplifiée par sa situation personnelle. Je ne suis restée que 2 semaines mais sur ce laps de temps assez court il n'a pas été proposé d'excursions ou activités. Ce sont les étudiants ou l'enseignante qui les ont organisées.
