  1. If you find a school with affordable prices, make sure that your transportation costs less than your tuition.
  2. Do some research about the infrastructural experience and the years the school has been operating in the same location.
  3. Find out about the extracurricular activities the school offers during your stay; these kinds of activities are important to fulfill your immersion experience.
  4. Once you choose a language school, ask them to provide email addresses or phone numbers of people your same age who have studied in such school so you can have extra information.
