My six months in Alexandria, Louisiana. My American experience in Louisiana was extraordinary. In January 2023 when I was about to leave Italy heading to the USA, I was very excited and joyful, but on the other hand, I was extremely scared owing to the fact that it was my first time doing this kind of activity. Fortunately, my half-year in Louisiana ended up being full of happiness and gratitude for my host family. To be honest, I heard of negative experiences with some students who have participated in this program with EF, but as far as I am concerned, I cannot say anything but thank you so much to my host family, my American and fellow European friends, and all the people who have contributed to the process of making my six months abroad unforgettable and full of great memories. Organizing my daily life, learning a new language, and being responsible for my actions made me independent and a new person. Living in a new city, speaking a new language, and sharing my days with new people helped me find out new aspects of my personality and all these things played a vital role in my personal growth as a person. It might look like a fairy tale, but it was truly a wonderful and educational journey. I have chosen EF because of its great reputation and I would choose EF again for its many opportunities besides one year/half-year program abroad such as signing up for the Ambassador program or the many Summer camps in several places around the world. I tremendously recommend embracing the idea of participating in an exchange year program as I had a stunning experience with EF and this is a life-long experience in terms of making international friendships and discovering new cultures, food, traditions, and people from another country. I'm Italian, but I like the idea of being a European citizen and not being rash, maybe one day a citizen of the world.

Good and bad aspects about my EF experience The teachers are very good and patient so the classes are very useful however it's very difficult to book the activities online. Once, I paid online to have credits but the site hasn't downloaded them on the site. I couldn't book any activities for the next two days.

Ef ROME is the best thing that has ever… Ef ROME is the best thing that has ever happened to me, it’s the best environment, best teachers, best classrooms, the school is beautiful and it’s in the center of Rome. It’s been the best experience of my life, and I’ve just been here for 3 months. Now I can speak Italian as a native speaker. I really love this place.

EF Roma …review EF Roma i appreciate the teaching method it is very active and interesting for us to learn italian. The teachers are also very nice and push us to speak and become better at speaking our new language. EF is also a good environment to meet friends from all over the world and try new activities!
