"It was challenging but very fun."

Dimitrij Poprygin, student from Germany

The tempo and difficulty was good. Also the provided material is perfect.
I liked the teachers. Maybe I didn’t like the fact, that we had 4 different teachers in 2 weeks.
Location in Akihabara was also very central. The school staff always tries to offer activities. I liked the after school lunches and the Karaoke Night. The housing was not good unfortunately. I am usually not picky, but the Jing House, where I lived was not clean, and noisy. Compared to the price I paid, it was below the standard. Apparently I got a bigger room when I moved in, which was just ok. But after 3 days I had to move to a neighbour room. It was smaller, smaller bed, No window, and it had a stinky sink. After the other room it felt like a total downgrade, but I just tolerated that, because I barely spend time there…
