"I enjoyed my stay and learned a lot, there was a good group of people in the classroom and supportive teachers."

Justin Pritchard, student from Canada

The classes were good, they did not waste any time. We covered a lot in a short amount of time, I thought the teacher was great, he seemed to have a lot of experience teaching, kept things interesting and everyone engaged. I like the location, it was located close to the beach but not too far from the downtown centre. I had no issues with the facilities, and the activities were interesting and affordable. The housing was basic but everything we needed was there, and for a fair price. The only issue was the kitchen sink would not drain properly from the first day we were there and we had inquired about it, along with our other room mates and it never got fixed. Also, the AC didn’t work, but the appt had a few fans so it was alright. I would come back for a longer period of time in the future if I get some more time.

"Excellent teacher and small classes allowed for a personalized experience adapted to my needs."

Marc Grandisson, student from Canada

Costa de Valencia is a small school located in the heart of Valencia in the University disctrict. The school is easy to access by the metro or the bus system.

The staff was helpful and the teacher was very experienced and easy to get along with. In addition to the classes, the school organizes social/cultural outings in and around Valencia every day.

As the usual housing accomodations were not available, I was housed in a student residence further away from the school. This residebnce is quite recent and modern and is located near the old part part of the city in a very nice neighborhood. It was about 20 minutes from the school with the metro. The staff at Costa de Valencia enquired if I was satisfied with my accomodation as I was only the third of their students to be sent there.

ı would certainly go back to Costa de Valencia if I had the chance.
