- To be honest, I had no plan how and where to go to study English abroad before someone recommended me Study Destiny, and the principal made me go to Laverne Center I am pretty sure no one knows about Laverne but it is a small city near LA. You could get there straight away from the LA airport, but I took the train from LA union station and it took me about 30~40 minutes.First thing that amazed me about Laverne was that, it had no homeless people. Despite the fact, LA
city had quite a number of homeless people, Laverne had none of them. It is a typical small and safe city. ELS center is within the Laverne University. There is only one office, but class rooms are separated. For accommodation problems, I home stayed for the first month, and I used Uni dormitory from following month. It’s not like I hated home staying but it was just too distant from the university.
The teachers are very nice, all of them! Especially Stew, and Matt! Matt told me that he was going to Columbia university for TESOL I don’t know if it worked out for him. Korean ratio is perfect as well. And there is a restaurant within the Uni which is ran by Korean people so I could solve my lunch with
reasonable prices the whole time.I was placed into one of the most advanced class, so the text was pretty hard. But out of all, the lesson where you had to write 7 pages worth of essay was the hardest.Although it is distant from LA, I think that is the major reason why it is an ideal place to study English
for!.

사실 제대하고 어학연수를 가려는 마음만 있었지, 어디를 어떻게 가야하고 어떻게 준비하는지는 깜깜했었었죠. 라번은 아시는분은 없겠지만. LA인근의 소도시 입니다. 가는법은 LA공항에서 바로 가는법도 있겠지만, 저같은 경우는 LA 유니온 스테이션에서 기차타고 30~40분정도?를 가서 도착했죠.
제가 LA에 와서 가장 놀랐던게, 곳곳에 있는 홈레스 들이었는데, 라번은 홈레스가 없고(한명도 못봤어요) 작고 안전한 전형적인 미국 소도시입니다. ELS 센터는 이 라번에 있는 대학교 라번대 안에 있습니다. 오피스는 한군데지만, 수업은 라번대 곳곳에 퍼져있는 교실에서 진행이 됩니다. 저같은 경우는 첫달은 홈스테이를 하고, 나머지는 라번대 기숙사를 사용했습니다. 홈스테이하는 분은 엄청 착하고 좋았지만, 학교에서 조금 거리가 있어서 그 다음달부터 기숙사로 바꿨죠. 선생님들은 다 너무 좋으세요! 특히 stu랑 matt!! matt은 컬럼비아대로 테솔 따러 간다고 했는데 잘 됬으려나 모르겠네요.ㅎㅎ 한국인 비율도 많지 않고. 그래도 한국인 부부가 운영하시는 식당이 대학내에 있어서 다니는 내내 싼가격으로 점심을 먹을 수 있었어요 ㅎㅎ
저는 거의 끝반으로 배정나서, 교재는 조금 어려웠었구요. 무엇보다 마지막 과목으로 에세이를 7장인가 써야하는 수업이 진짜 힘들었던것 같아요.
LA랑 조금 멀기는 하지만, 오히려 그래서 공부하기는 최적의 조건! 깨끗하고 안전한 곳에서 영어실력 쌓기는 최적의 장소라고 감히 말씀드립니다!
