| My homestay family is lovely. The school is centrally located. I have met a lot of new friends and the teachers are very helpful. I like San Diego very much. I am happy to be here! Nadia Heusser, Switzerland | |
| Studying at CISL was really great; everyone is very professional, available and friendly. The atmosphere at the school is always positive, so it becomes a pleasure to learn English under these conditions. The school provided a contact with a communications company, which turned out to be the best place to have an internship experience. Last but not least, Gregory helped me out with some visa problems and also found my luggage! Thanks top everyone. This experience has been really cool! Camilla De Leo |
