My experience in Málaga 🫶🏼 First of all, thanks to all the staff for always being available and welcoming, both at school and in the residence. It was my first solo trip and I’d like to do it again. I think it's perfect for those who want to open their mind, get to know new cultures, new people and discover a new part of themselves. Málaga is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and two weeks (even if fully enjoyed) were few to visit all its places.

Ef ROME is the best thing that has ever… Ef ROME is the best thing that has ever happened to me, it’s the best environment, best teachers, best classrooms, the school is beautiful and it’s in the center of Rome. It’s been the best experience of my life, and I’ve just been here for 3 months. Now I can speak Italian as a native speaker. I really love this place.

Really good school -

Best Year of my Life I have been so lucky that I got the opportunity to do an exchange year in the school year 22/23 with EF and it has been the absolute best thing I’ve ever done! Ever since I signed up for the program they have guided me through the whole process from making my profile so they could look for a great host family for me to all of the paperwork for my visa and making be feel ready for the departure with webinars, things I could read and on top of that there are some meeting both before, doing and after the exchange where I met a bunch of amazing new friends who where going through the same exiting emotions as me. EF has a really great website for the profile I made where I just needed to write a bunch about myself and this ended with me getting matched with such an amazing host mom and double placement from Austria in Vermont. I had honestly never heard of this state before but it has now turned into my second home. I could not have asked for a better place to be. My host mom is the kindest and one of the most energetic people I know. I had zoomed a bit with her beforehand and I felt at home with her just a few days after I got there. I did not know what to expect when I was told I would have a double placement and we had to share room but I really loved it. We complimented each other well and I am so grateful I have made all these wonderful memories with her, my now sister. We went to a very tiny school with only 70 kids in the high school and which was not what I had expected but I do not care that there was not American football or cheerleading because I got the experience of a very small community coming together. There was even made a special class called Cultural Perspectives for the students because we could help and share some similarities/differences. I am very happy I chose EF and something special about them is that they are both EF in the host country as well as in the host countries. This makes sure that they know exactly what is going on which is very helpful. Through this I have learned more than I can express but a few examples could be my improved English together with how I have grown personally. I am now more outgoing willing to try new things, be spontaneous, be outdoorsy and then I have learned more about myself and my abilities and I have pushed limits.
