I really want to recommend BBSI! My favorite was the English education program that school provided. Homestay was a in a good environment. I was served English meals in morning and night. School faculty was excellent too. Wireless connection and all those places to have a rest and café terrace were fine. There was also a circle for international students. School provided a good guide for tour around the country too. The school was near the beach, so in summer, it is a good place for vacation. Of course, my English improved a lot. If there is anyone who is willing to go to Britain, I highly recommend BBSI.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BBSI 강추에요! 가장 추천하고 싶은 것은 영어학습프로그램도 물론이지만 학교에서 제공해주는 프로그램이 정말 좋았어요. 홈스테이도 굉장히 좋은 환경이고 아침 저녁마다 영국 가정식이 제공되어서 너무너무 좋았어요. 학교시설도 엄청 좋았어요. 학교내에 인터넷도 엄청 잘터지고 휴식공간이나 테라스도 굉장히 잘되어있어요. 정기적으로 외국인 학생들과 교류하는 교류회도 있고, 파티도 있고, 여행에 대한 안내도 학교에서 엄청 잘해주셨어요. 학교가 바다 근처에 있어서 여름에는 바닷가로 자주 놀러가기도하고 정말 재미있게 잘 보내고 왔습니다. 영어도 엄청나게 늘었구요! 영국으로 가시는분들 BBSI로 꼭 가세요!
