Hi guys! If you have any questions about the school, feel free to reach out to me! I would be happy to answer your questions :) 💌 email: [e-mail] 💌 [e-mail]

[@mariadenardin6551]

I don’t have any questions. If u are enjoying your experience cool . But to be honest the two years that I expended there was not good at all. You can ask any other ex senior about it. Ef is more market than anything. But it’s good to know someone like there. Good lucky

[@Marie-uk4rn]

I just finished my exchange year in the United States.I came back and I got the newsletter and the whole book for EF Academy. I am interested in the EF Academy, but I don’t really understand how it works.so my question is: is my goal in the EF Academy to go to university or college afterwards? Maybe you can help me with that… Thank you

[@Yoonje]

@@Marie-uk4rn Hi Marie! Thanks for watching the video 🤍 I would say most of the students at EF Academy attends to college/university afterwards! With the IB diploma, you can apply to universities all over the world :) However, there are some students who decide not to go to college, and it’s completely up to you. I hope this helped!

Such a nice video Yoonje. We love seeing you having a good time at our New York school :) If anyone has any questions about the school, our admissions process, clubs & activities or anything else, feel free to reply to this comment with your questions!

[@Aj-226]

Do I have to take an English language exam before entering the Academy? or your academy will help me improve my English

[@anneandersen1371]

Would I have to speak perfect English to generally be able to keep up in school, or would the teachers expect/know, that there might be a couple mistakes at times?

[@Yoonje]

@@Aj-226 Hi! There’s an English test called EF SET that you need to take. But don’t worry! We have different English classes depending on your level, and EF will put you in the right class to help you improve your English skills. They also have a Preparation course where you can really improve your language skills :)

[@Yoonje]

@@anneandersen1371 Hi Anine, this is a great question! Considering that EF is an international school, the teachers definitely expect students to make some mistakes since English is their second language. I would say what matters the most is that you’re trying your best to improve your English and use it more often. In fact, there are very few students at EF whose first language is English/ have a perfect English, so no need to worry!

[@isabelmercado809]

Hi! Is it possible to go to this school for only one year? I´m in eleventh grade in my country and I graduate but I would like to pass a 12th year in an international school.

[@italialibera2102]

it is a place where Hitlerian methods are used. a boy died by suicide and another attempted suicide. the director and staff should be sanctioned.

[@Han-pr8kf]

manifesting this for me in the next year!

[@mathematikhov]

GUYS DONT GO TO EF OXFORD ITS SHIT, literally the worst decision of my life you can ask anything I’m 1. year there, it’s bad!!!!!

[@Gio-xe5vi]

Why did you think the school was bad? 

[@mathematikhov]

So firstly the campus is very ugly all the buildings they show in the videos you walk their only for school and lunch. The dorms are very small and you have to imagine that you have a roommate if you don’t want a roommate you have to pay 7000£ and your roommate will get another room of has to pay too to get a single room. The bathrooms are for everyone which is very disgusting, with this I mean people are very disgusting. Generally it is not worth the price. The price you pay for the 2 years, with bad dorms, toilets the food is disgusting, not eatable I ate the same salat over a year and I think the food is not even fresh. THE TEACHERS ARE DUMB like actually they can’t teach. The IB physics teacher failed physics in IB. Btw. The psychology logo teacher literally can’t speak English properly. The business teacher didn’t even taught the syllabus. all the people are in IB and there are like almost only Asians in a level. Also it’s a very small school so you will have to find your friends from the very beginning and you will stay with them for 2 years. Also it is super annoying because everything you do is known by everyone. If you drink no one really cares as long as you’re not throwing up everywhere which by the way happens a lot on the weekends. Many people take drugs. The school literally operates like a company, they hid that a girl was expelled because she took cocain in the dorm. A lot of people want to leave but already paid for 2. year, I wouldn’t recommend to be honest. Also they talk about diversity and shit but honestly if you are a small nationality, nobody is going to be there. The acceptance rate is also rediculously high meaning they take everyone who is dumb enough to apply for the school. The staff is really annoying with your wellbeing so if you say I’m sad or something the pathway managers will talk to you, it seems like a good thing but it gets really annoying especially because they don’t really help you with anything it’s just talk and they literally would interrupt you while your studying just to talk about how you feel or something like that. Btw. if you think it sounds cool with the drinking part and everything there are not really good drinking places. Also if you drink and they notice you will have detention so you have to go to reception every hour from 9am for a few weeks which is very annoying if you have detention 3 times on the same thing like you drank 3 times they will kick you out of school at least they say that… Also they stress you out in 1. year so much with like yeah you need to tap the tile you need to be responsive and go to class and shit but if you don’t go to class nobody cares really and if you’re a bad student you’re fucked in general like you are actually fucked. I learned 2 math books by myself. They literally expect you to know before they teach you because THEY DONT TEACH SHIT. I am telling you it’s literally not worth the price. Also we have foxes and in the night they scream, although you can’t sleep properly anyways, because your bed is out of stone btw. If you are actually going there take bedsheets or buy new ones, its disgusting. And also we have 2 kitchens for the whole girlsbuilding at least they are disgusting as well. The water filter is very disgusting like water doesn’t taste good and the thing you do tea with like the thing you boil the water with was never cleaned I think I tried it once but after there where big white things in my tea never again. Also we can’t even open the window I think it’s annoying so if you think of running away you can’t after 22:00 you can’t go anywhere oh yeah and you have to pay everything you want to do laundry.

[@mathematikhov]

The only good thing is that you meet new friends but honestly you could do that on every other normal boarding school with a normal price and good teaching I guess what’s also good about it is that the school is not really strict like if they see your hopeless in academics they will just give up on you kind of like if you ask the teachers for help and stuff they will help you but if you don’t nobody will care like the teachers don’t even say anything when you interrupt class they just inform the parents of your really bad in a subject or sth like that

[@Gio-xe5vi]

@@mathematikhov wow, I thought it was better... but how much did you pay for this boarding school? I thought this school gave scholarships but I discovered that it didn't, so I gave up studying there anyway

[@kweasleyy.2]

I really like it, hopefully next year I can enter there :))

[@mariadenardin6551]

Did they say to you inside the school would have pool too? Because Ef it’s more market than anything. Also I’m still waiting for my yearbook.

[@Yoonje]

Hi!! I heard that the new campus in Pasadena has a pool! But they did tell me the NY campus doesn’t have one. I’m sorry you felt that way, and I understand where you’re coming from. However, I think everyone at the school is really trying their best to make things better for the students. I’m really sorry about the yearbook. That’s terrible :( Do you want me to look into that and ask the school about it? Anyways, thanks for watching 💛

[@0verd0sa]

hey i was planning on coming to ef next year and i was wondering how you found the transition process getting into the school

Hii thank you for the amazing video! I was wondering if due to COVID infection the campus is empty or if there are only few students because I really want to apply for it and I’m very outgoing so I would like to have plenty of friends

[@Yoonje]

There’s less people on campus due to covid for sure, but I still made so many good friends :) I heard there were about 700 students last year whereas there’s only 300 this year. But I don’t think the campus feels empty at all! I personally feel closer to my friends because there’s not too many people :)

Yes, we have to wear masks all the time except when we are in our rooms. EF takes this seriously, so it is NOT a personal choice. For me, coming to the US was not that hard, but some students from China or Vietnam couldn’t come because they had problems with the visa or the borders were closed :(
