What kind of place is it best to study in – city or countryside?
It’s better to look at this from a different point of view – first start to choose your school, then use the kind of place where it is as one of the factors that helps your decision. Some people want to do a language course in a place that is as similar as possible to where they usually live. Others want a complete contrast. Some good questions to ask yourself about the place you think you want to choose are:
- If I’m doing a long course, is a contrast from where I live a good idea?
- Do I want a place where there are many foreign students like myself, or somewhere more typical of the country?
- Is this place in a good location for visiting other places of interest?
- Am I going to need a car?
- Has the place got the kinds of things that interest me (nightlife, history, good shops, cinemas, etc.)?
- Can I find a good compromise – a place which has a bit of everything?
