I stayed here for 2 months. The tuition was expensive. Therefore the quality of the classes was much higher than the other schools I attended. Homestay, teachers and other facilities like libraries were satisfactory. Personally I improved a lot in speaking and listening. I strongly suggest that students should study grammar on their own before they go to university, because the class doesn’t deal with grammar so much. After school activities are well organized that I always have something to do after I finish school. I also watched movies or go to clubs at night. The family I stayed with was really generous and I had a big room for myself. I believe all my friends had a good time too. Boston became my favorite city after all. It is a safe place to walk around or ride bicycle at night. The institution building was really pretty and I was lucky to study there too.

２ヶ月の滞在でした。正直、授業料は高いです。しかしその分だけの質は確かにあると、他の学校に移ってから感じました。ホームステイ、教師の質も高く、ライブラリーや他の施設もそれなりに充実しています。 個人的にはspeaking, listeningはかなり上達しました。ただ、grammerなどはあまり扱わないため、最低限の grammerはある程度準備していったほうが良かったなあと思います。授業外の特別活動は本当に毎日色々なプログラムが用意されていて、放課後が暇ということは一度もありませんでした。映画を見たり、夜にはナイトクラブに行ったりしました。ホームステイもとても親切なファミリーで、部屋も広く快適でした。友達の意見を聞いても、全体的に快適なステイ先が多いようでした。　何より、ボストンはかなり落ち着いた印象で、本当に好きな都市になりました。 治安もよく、「夜中でも一人で自転車で出かけても平気！」とホストファミリーに言われました。大学の建物も含めて 本当に美しい街だと思います。

2 개월 다녔왔습니다. 솔직히 수업료는 비쌉니다. 그러나 그만큼 질은 확실히 높았던건 다른 학교 로 옮겨 보니까 느꼈습니다. 홈스테이, 교사 의 질 도 높고, 도서관 및 기타 시설 도 나름대로 충실했습니다. 개인적으로 speaking , listening 꽤 늘었습니다. 다만 grammer은수업에서 많이 하지 않으므로 최소한의 grammer 은 어느 정도 준비하고 가는게 좋았다고 생각합니다 . 수업 외 특별 활동은 정말 매일 다양한 프로그램이 준비되어 있고, 방과후 심심한 적이 한번도 없었습니다 . 영화를 보고, 밤에는 나이트 클럽 에 가거나 했습니다.   홈스테이 도 매우 친절한 가족이었고 방도 넓고 좋았습니다. 다른 친구들도 전체적으로 좋은 시시간 보냈던 것 같습니다.   무엇보다, 보스턴은 차분한 느낌으로 정말 좋아하는 도시가 되었습니다 . 치안도 좋고, " 밤에 밖에 혼자서 자전거 타고를 나가도 괜찮아 ! "라고 호스트 패밀리 말씀하셨습니다 . 어학원 건물도 정말 예쁘고 정말 아름다운 도시라 거기서 공부를 할 수 있었다는 것이 아주 행복합니다.

ELCの集中英語コースに参加しました♪

学校はボストン市内の中心部にあって、周りにはお店やレストラン、市場等もあって便利でした。
学校は広くて明るい色彩の内装で、コンピュータが自由に使えるコンピュータ室もありました。
学生用のラウンジがあり、授業が終わったあとちょっと友達としゃべったりするのに良く利用していました。
授業は朝9時から始まり、お昼休憩を挟んで3時20分まであります。
最初は覚えることがたくさんで、なかなか大変でしたが、おかげで短期間のうちに英語のスキルがすごく上がったと思います。
中級からは選択授業を取れるので、私はビジネス英語の授業を取りました。
他にも映画とか、スラングの選択授業もありましたよ～。
授業中に、会話練習する機会が最初からたくさんあるので、クラスメートと話す機会が多くなって、自然と打ち解けることが出来たので良かったです。
世界中から集まってきた友人と話をすることで、アメリカにいるのにドイツとか、メキシコについて詳しくなったり♪
みんな英語が上手になりたいっていう思いが共通してるので、すぐ仲良くなれましたよ！
宿泊はホームステイを選びました。日常生活でも英語に慣れたいと思ったからです。
ホストファミリーはとても優しい家族で、休日一緒にパーティーに連れて行ってくれたりもしました。
やっぱり耳が慣れるとだいぶ違うと思ったので、ホームステイにして正解だったと思います。
ほんとに楽しいボストン留学でした！絶対また行きたいと思います！

ボストン校はとにかく何もかもが多種多様な学校でした！

コースレベルはもちろんですが、課外授業もとても充実してて実際の日常に溶け込みながら
確実にレベルアップに繋がる授業がよかったです。

授業の面でもとてもよかったのですが、
宿泊施設も他の学校と比べたら選択肢も多くとてもいいなと思いました。
なので僕は最初は学生寮に住んで、あとからホームステイに変更しました。
ホームステイになると学校から少し距離が離れてしまいますが
その分また新しい風景や、レストランを見つけたりしてとても楽しかったです。

学校周辺にはアメリカでも有名な大学や音楽院があったので
たまに友達と見にいったりしてました＾＾
