Client Feedback - Nice
In my view all the information and documents were well presented and clearly understandable to make my trip over to Nice simple and fun. I did enjoy the lessons and all the teachers were patient, kind and supporting. Also the facilities were fantastic. The range of activities was vast, and for most part the activities were cheap. My hosts were kind and enjoyable to be around. Their home was just perfect. I did really enjoy this trip, everything had a certain class about it. What I enjoyed the most was meeting new friends and new characters who have changed my life for the better. And I would without any hesitation recommend Caledonia to all my friends. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

I'm just back from a week long stay in Nice at the [school]. I understand that you arranged this with my dad and I'd just like to say thank you so much! I had a really incredible time. I met some really lovely people and made firm friends from Russia, England and Spain, who I hope to stay in contact with. The family I was staying with were excellent too. They were extremely kind and welcoming; I couldn't have asked for a nicer family! Also, the girl I shared a room with was amazing - by the end of the week we were like sisters, and it was great to have had the chance to meet her. So I'd like to thank you again for the amazing experience, and I hope to stay in touch as I'd really like to return again next year!:-)
I thought that Caledonia were extremely thorough and helpful with every aspect of my trip. The information I received was easy to comprehend and provided me with all the information I needed. We received regular calls which I found reassuring, as it was the first time I had travelled alone, or done anything like this. Everything about the school was perfect; its central location meant that it was easy to find, and as it was right on the bus route I didn't once get lost! The facilities were excellent, everything from the internet access to the drinks machines were both useful and easily accessible. The lessons were both interesting and enjoyable, and the teachers were lovely. If I didn't understand anything, all I had to do was say and they would be quick to clarify. I found the classes extremely beneficial and I think they really boosted my knowledge of the French language. The sources used (such as games, music and various articles and extracts) were motivating and varied, and really added an extra dimension to studying French. The activities arranged everyday were so much fun, and gave a great opportunity to meet people not necessarily in your classes.
The family I was staying with were just wonderful, really welcoming and friendly. They were always eager to suggest places I might enjoy going to, and help me find my way there. The apartment was in a fantastic location (only 15 minutes from the beach!) and was very comfortable, with a really pleasant atmosphere. I got on very well with everyone living in the apartment with me, which truly helped make the trip special.
It really was an incredible trip, and I'm so lucky to have had the opportunity to go. I met some incredible people that I hope to stay in contact with for a very long time, and gained a new level of competence in French that I couldn't have gained otherwise. As a very shy person I thought I would find it difficult having to cope on my own, but everyone was so helpful, welcoming and friendly that it was easy. The amount of confidence I gained is remarkable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I thought that the trip was worth every single penny paid for it, and more - the experience was truly priceless. A huge thank you for the trip of a lifetime, it really was amazing!
