The overall experience is great. Wonderful teachers, learning materials and learning atmosphere. Activities are also quite good, though the activities office could still adjust some of the schedules of tours, maximising the time for student to experience, not just spending on obligatory boring guided tours, making the high costs seems at least a bit more reasonable and worthy. Also, arrangements about the host family & the host family made by the accommodation office are quite problematic. Too little information is given and students are often left behind, unaware of anything unless they reach out. Plus, the qualifications for host families should be held stricter as my experience in the 2nd host family was terrible (totally a piece of shit). We weren’t allowed to do laundries, meals weren’t fully provided, 3 people living in a non ventilated room (especially there’s too little space for the lower bunk), weird attitudes of host mum, volume of TV still high during midnight, were told to clean the bathroom and bedroom ourselves before we leave however the money we paid… etc. Please be more cautious at accommodating students as complains regardless this issue are way too often heard.

I miei due figli sono partiti quest' anno per due viaggi simili ma diversi; uno ha scelto la partenza individuale e l'altro ( più piccolo ) di gruppo. Io come genitore ero un po' ansiosa e preoccupata. Lo staff di EF è stato tutto gentile rassicurante e sempre disponibile ad ascoltare e a sciogliere i miei mille dubbi. Mi hanno guidato fino all'ultimo nei vari step della preparazione dei viaggi e nella burocrazia. Faccio i miei complimenti accompagnatore Luca che ha accolto i ragazzi creando fin da subito un bel clima tra ragazzi che non si erano mai visti e ha trasmesso a noi genitori sicurezza e tranquillità con la sua calma e il suo sorriso empatico. Grazie a tutto lo staff di EF.
Ich habe letzten Sommer eine 3 wöchige Sprachreise nach San Diego gemacht. Die Vorbereitung und Organisation war top und es gab keine Probleme. Der Campus war modern und schön, es gab vieles zu erleben (abgesehen von San Diego selbst). Der Unterricht ist interessant und die Lehrer sowie der ganze Staff sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
📢 Advertencia para futuros estudiantes EF en Londres 🇬🇧 Estudié inglés con EF Londres entre el 22 de junio y el 25 de julio de 2025. Lamentablemente, mi experiencia con la host family fue totalmente opuesta a lo prometido: ❌ Nunca recibí comidas (ni siquiera desayuno), a pesar de estar incluidas. ❌ El internet era tan lento que tuve que pagar bolsas de gigas para poder trabajar. ❌ Dormí en una cama hundida, sin living ni comedor: cero intercambio cultural. ❌ Cocina rota, microondas oxidado, sin vasos ni llaves del edificio. ❌ Me pidieron que no estuviera el día que EF hizo la inspección. 📌 Gasté mucho más de lo esperado por condiciones inadecuadas. Estoy esperando reembolso por un Uber que pagué al cambiarme de casa. 📝 EF promete "máximo intercambio cultural y ambientes acogedores". No fue mi caso. Si vas a estudiar con ellos, verifica bien tu host family antes de llegar. #EF #EstudiarInglés #HostFamily #Reclamo #ExperienciaReal #Londres #EstudiarEnElExtranjero #Cuidado #EFExperience
I had an amazing experience at the EF accommodation in Rome. The facilities were comfortable, well-organized, and perfectly located to enjoy the city. Everything was smooth and stress-free thanks to the excellent support I received throughout my stay. A special mention goes to Giulia, who was always available, kind, and incredibly helpful in guiding me through every step of the process. Her assistance truly made my experience even better. Highly recommended!
organisme de Menteurs et Voleurs! j'attends toujours le remboursement de mes frais d'inscription suite à mon annulation de formation alors que vous êtes inscrit sur le CPF donc au droit du travail français !!! arrêter de mentir aux gens
Questa è la terza volta che una delle mie figlie è bpartita con EF, sarà stata la locazione, il periodo o quant'altro ma non è stata una vacanza ottimale come le altre, far studiare e cooabitare studenti italiani non permette uno scambio culturale completo, stesso dicasi per lo studio della lingua, devo anche aggiungere che far tornare i ragazzi con un volo alle 00:50 ora locale ed arrivo in Italia alle 06:20......lo trovo poco RISPETTOSO. Dovremmo conoscere in anticipo gli eventuali voli oppure avere la possibilità di cambiare / cancellare destinazione. Saluti
Massima assistenza dal momento della presentazione della domanda fino al saluto al rientro di nostra figlia Personale altamente qualificato, professionale e gentile, tanto da gestire un guasto in aeroporto il giorno della partenza che ha reso necessario un cambio organizzativo in quel preciso istante. Guidati e assistiti passo passo sia dagli uffici che dal personale assistente ef degli aeroporti, in una maniera impeccabile Esperienza ottima, scuola fantastica, perfino la location molto stile "British" al 100% Non possiamo che consigliare EF per chi vuole fare un viaggio studio
De EF taalreis naar München was super leuk. Ik verbleef in de residence en dit was echt top. Ook waren de docenten op de school heel goed en aardig. Ik heb echt wat geleerd. De organisatie was goed. Vooral Maria achter de receptie heeft me heel erg geholpen. Door reminders voor school te sturen en me te helpen met het plannen van mijn terugreis. Ook waren de activiteiten erg leuk!
ringrazio infinitamente tutto lo staff dell' ef sono stati sempre attenti e presenti , consiglio vivamente di fare esperienze con loro , le mie figlie sono rimaste entusiaste e io mi sono sempre sentita tranquilla e sicura, mi hanno sempre risposto tempestivamente, ringrazio davvero di ❤️ tutti per la bellissima esperienza.
È il secondo anno chè mia figlia ha avuto la possibilità di vivere un'esperienza all'estero e devo dire che non trovo le parole per ringraziare il team di EF per la totale dedizione e la premura con cui accolgono i ragazzi .
Durante la mia esperienza con EF, lo staff è sempre stato gentile e disponibile per qualsiasi domanda. Le lezioni di livello assegnate sono adatte alle competenze dei singoli allievi. Magari le lezioni supplementari dovrebbero essere suddivise in classi più omogenee; infatti per me un gruppo era troppo avanzato mentre l'altro troppo semplice rispetto alle mie capacità. Ho apprezzato moltissimo le attività proposte, in particolare la serata karaoke, la gita a Partnachklamm e lo Stammtisch. Questa esperienza mi ha permesso di praticare il tedesco, visitare una bella città e conoscere tante nuove persone provenienti da tutto il mondo. Ve la consiglio!
The worst school and management ever. EF school offers programms which are not listed. EF Germany just does not know anything about what exactly they offer! The head office (probably in Switzeland) does not aware where their accommodation is or just does not want to know anything about where and in what conditions their students live . Accommodation is so poor and dirty - like in prison! The groups are very big and mixed, students with C level share the same group as B1 students. if your goal is to study - you won't benefit anything in such groups - only after 3 weeks the school decided to divide our big group. All the classes started always late - which is very normal in South Africa in fact instead of usual 90 minutes classes your class is only 60-70 minutes! EF has got their own standards - their classes are 80 minutes which were even shorter. The head office contacted me about 10 days ago and after they had heard all of my complaints they preferred to disappear! I enclosed photos of my 4 m2 room - 6 weeks stay - just imagine! I had to look for another accommodation urgently and moved - of course I had additional unplanned costs. I hope EF will contact me again. During my 6 weeks stay I had 3 activities paid, during the first 2 weeks - although I paid for 6 weeks Programm, which was more expensive!
Thank you company EF,especially Christina
It changed my life, the best curse i have in my whole life!!

Dubai. Agosto 2025. Esperienza fantastica vissuta da mia figlia (Maia, 16 anni) anche e soprattutto grazie all'organizzazione messa in piedi dall'agenzia. Presenti prima della partenza, precisi nel fornire ogni tipo di info e contatto utile, presenti durante la permanenza e fino al ritorno a casa. Davvero nulla da dire, se non che, se potesse, mia figlia sposterebbe le lancette dell'orologio a luglio/agosto 2027, per rivivere un'altra simile esperienza. Sinceri complimenti a tutti voi, per la serenità che avete trasmesso a noi genitori nei 14 giorni vissuti all'estero (i suoi "primi") da Maia.
