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 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.
