This is my first time traveling abroad, so EF is also my first travel agency. I am very satisfied with them because they always arrange some really good activities, their cafeteria is also really good and the most important thing is that their attitude is really awesome. They always have smiles on their faces and always solve our problems as soon as possible. Thanks to them, I can have a pleasant journey in Boston. And about my host family, they are friendly and talkative, but the dinner they prepare is not really good. Everyday is almost the same. When I was in Taiwan, I was really excited about life with an American family, so I was kind of disappointed in this point. But overall , I am really happy.

This is a nice place to learn English. You have some interesting courses and then some activities around the city. There are also some great trips. For example I did the Washington D.C trip. It was cool. We visited a lot of memorials. Of course it was too short (only 2 days) but it was long enough to take part in the life in the city.
Back on the topic, all is not good, there are nevertheless negative points. The residence is too far downtown. If you want to go to downtown you have to plan on 1.5 hours of travelling. It's not too long but if you want to eat downtown it's pretty long. Now the food: the food at the residence is really good. Moreover, it doesn't vary.
To conclude, Ef Boston is a nice place with a good atmosphere and nice teachers. You will enjoy !!

I arrived in Boston on August 18th in 2016. That was my first time coming to a foreign country. I did travel to many places alone, but I still felt a little scared at that moment. Fortunately, I had a sister here who was studying at Northeast University. She sent me to the campus. Then my new education started in Boston.
EF has many students from different countries and we communicate with them all the time. They are kind and helpful. You can learn more about their countries, cultures, their majors and favorite sports. You're gonna have many friends here.
Each of teachers here is unique. Chirs looks crazy, he is always energetic in class. Mike is a sophisticated teacher. He has been teaching students here for 5 years, his suggestions could help you fix any problem you encounter here. If you are a freshman who sometimes feels embarrassed to talk with someone, you could find Mike, then you gonna be more comfortable. Eduardo seems like the most strict teacher if you are a new student in his class. He's always in the C level classes. There are some basic rules in his class. Like students are supposed to do their homework seriously, when you talk with your classmates you need look at their face. But when you stay with him longer, you gonna find his suggestions are really helpful for you, and he is not that old fashioned.
EF is really busy in the summer. There are so many students in the summer vacation. The lecture hall is gonna be full of students at noon. If you wanna have a nap, here are some suggestions. If you live on campus, you can go back to your room, or you could go to Room 235, probably, there is no class there at noon.
There are so many interesting things you have never observed or experienced in the past. So welcome to join us.

The campus is awesome and the neighborhood is secure and nice, but the personal at EF is bad, they never helps you even knowing you are an international student and you are alone, they only said "ooh I'm so sorry I hope you can fix your problems, nothing else". So if you lose classes by going to solve your problems, they will not care and you will continue with absences.
And they send you to live in far sites, if you live in the campus the heather doesn't works and the food is terrible.
