EF Nice reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Absolutely amazing I had the best time of my life. I highly recommend this for anyone else who wants to experience French culture, learn French, and gain a new perspective on the world we live in. I spent nine months here at E.F. Nice and I got to take a whole bunch of opportunities to go see France see the world and make a bunch of friends! I would most certainly go back if I had the opportunity to because I had the best time of my life there, and I’ve grown as a person after experiencing EF."

There are a lot of things to do and near villages to visit, the school has always a different activity to do every day! The staff is so friendly and always there for you. Classes are always very practical, because we talk a lot so you practice more the language; I have made friends from all over the world, and between each other we help us to improve, it’s amazing!
