학교는 듣던대로 아주 깔끔하고 좋아요! 어학과정 IEP는 Compass test를 치루고 레벨을 받으면 토플 점수 없이도 IEP를 바로 넘기고 대학 과정을 수강 할 수 있더라구요! 그렇게 어렵지도 않아요. 전 그걸 몰라서 다 수강했지만요ㅜㅜ IEP 자체도 수업이 탄탄하게 짜여진 느낌을 많이 받았어요. 물론 교수님에 따라 편차는 있겠지만 기본적으로 레벨이 세세하게 나눠지다 보니 본인 수준에 맞는 수업을 제공 받을 수 있어요. 여름시즌 액티비티는 아주 다양했는데 아무래도 방학 시즌이다 보니 해변가, 레이니어 산, 빅토리아 등등으로 많이 놀러다닌 편이에요. 가을 액티비티도 여름만큼은 아니지만 다양하게 준비되어 있구요.
레이크우드가 번화하다곤 말 할 순 없지만 그렇다고 외지지도 않아서 사는데 불편함은 많이 느끼지 않아요. 다만 조금 더 여유롭게 생각한다면 말이죠..ㅎㅎ 주변에 큰 한인마트도 두개나 있고 버스도 정확한 시간에 도착하구요. 씨애틀까진 차타고 40분가량, 대중교통으로는 두시간반정도 걸려요. 가깝진 않지만 마음 먹고 가기에 괜찮은 거리에요.
