EF Eastbourne reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was my first language course with EF, and thanks to this experience, I fell in love with EF and meeting people from all over the world. As for Eastbourne, it's a very charming seaside town, famous for its iconic pier. The time spent with friends on the beach and the picnics remain the best memories of the trip. The residence is only two minutes from the school, which is a real plus. The school itself has a great atmosphere: a characterful brick building, with classes often held in the courtyard. It's also easy to get to London for a weekend, with a journey time of about two hours."
