"I spent August 2017 in Santa Barbara at ELC. I was just reminiscing what a wonderful time I had. Damn man I miss this place. Best summer of my teens."

"I attended ELC classes for three weeks in an intensive course. Since day one I felt as I was in a family: staff was very kind and helpful, classmates were very friendly. Above all, Santa Barbara is awesome and ELC building is in a beautiful place in the town. Courses were very interesting (grammar, communications, reading & writing, slang class): the method of teaching was effective and every student had the possibility to speak. At the end of every week there were a grammar quiz that's a really good idea to make students study. They also organized other extra activities such as dancing or surfing courses, parties, tournaments in many sports (soccer, beach volleyball, ping pong...): that was a great idea to allow people to stay together and keep on talking an learning English. I surely recommend ELC!"

"My time at ELC has been the best experience of my life. I spent 8 months at ELC with all the great teachers and staff members who were like a family for me. I have improved my English a lot thanks to the several courses that I have followed, either the general courses, where I got to know many cultural varieties, or the Cambridge program. I enjoyed this trip a lot, ELC is a place where you can easily make friends and have fun thanks to the several activities proposed by the school. I am going to miss this school, the good atmosphere and all the people that I have met there. I am looking forward to visit this school as soon as possible! I wish that everyone will enjoy their stay like I did! ELC is definitely a good school where you can improve your English and live an unforgettable experience."

"ELC is a really good school. I have been studying here for 6 months and it has been a really amazing experience. I have always been around wonderful people who made my stay amazing. The teachers and all the people who work in the school are kind and really helpful. Santa Barbara is a beautiful place to live and have a lot of fun. Definitely, ELC is perfect if you want to learn English."

"I had a great time in ELC Santa Barbara!!! The teachers and staff are very friendly, and the city is amazing. I'm really glad to have met new and specials friends from different countries. Those friendships will last forever!!! Living in a host family can be a great experience, but i didn't like it too much, cause my host family lived too far from the school. After moving to La Brezza, i could enjoy more the city, cause it is closer."
