Semi-Intensive Program

Hi my name is matilde i studied in els center for 3 sessions, the clases were pretty good, i enjoyed every minute of class. The teachers were so nice, i love them, what i didn’t like, was having no native teacher in one session, because i needed to learn the native pronunciation and sometimes was difficult to understand. for me the location was good if you live in down town, theres a lot of museums, and stores near, What I didn't like so much was that the center was in Minneapolis and not on the St. Paul campus, because I felt that on the campus where I studied there weren't as many people circulating, or university activities, I felt that it could have been easier to make friends If the center was in St Paul, then every day I would take the shalldle bus to go to the other campus, and do activities there. What I really liked was the variety of university clubs that one could participate in, for that reason I was able to make friends, it was incredible, I learned a lot from native people, and I was able to live an American university experience, they showed me a lot of the culture was incredible. I love the St. paul campus, was so beautiful, with purple every where!
I really enjoyed some activities of els, i love to make cookies, s’mores, halloween activities and celebrated birthday every month.

It was all very fun, the university is very nice, you have many places where you can study quietly, the gym is very well equipped, the teachers I had were a great support, very well prepared, with many tips that helped me feel, that in In a very short time my English took giant steps. super recommended the course at UST.

I had a really good experience. First, the welcome of ELS was very warm and friendly and for me that's a very important thing. Both the classes and the teachers were organised in a good way, which allowed me to improve and learn a lot. Also, it was very easy to get to the University, due to the shuttle buses available for students. Finally, the opportunity to use the facilities of the university made this experience better because I was able to play tennis and have fun with my friends.

It was pretty good my skills improved a lot and I had a lot of fun too so thanks

Everything was better than I expected. The classes were very interesting, and the teachers were wonderful, and they were very helpful in and outside classes. Also, it was really nice that I could use the facilities of St. Thomas.

My wishes and concerns regarding the subject matter were addressed and I was able to learn what I wanted. My teachers Barb and Michell focused fully on Project Management and showed me many new applications.

The amount of material I learned and the tasks I had to complete after class were appropriate. I would especially like to thank Barb for the free time she has given me to have small talk outside the subject area.

ELS was very great place, i wish i could stay more! Teachers and other admin staff were vere supportive and friendly too.
There was a fun activities which one of them i have participated and really enjoyed being with the students and had a fun with them, for the quality of the class was absolutely high class and every class was on time.

Our class was diversity team. I made some friends who are come from different countries.

All teachers were excellent and they are good at teaching English to student whom English is not mother language.

Location and facilities was good for me.
