The school is located really near to Princes Street
It's the main street of Edinburgh, and it's located in the new town
We're in a beautiful Georgian building in the center of the city and inside the building it's very modern
Edinburgh is such a beautiful city that coming any time of the year will be a wonderful experience
I really like the castle. I really love to walk around because it's like being in a movie or a film
If I would like to go anywhere else I can use public transportation
that is very convenient and makes it easy to get around
People here are really friendly. If you have some problems they always ready to help you
Everybody thinks that the accent here is really difficult
But after a week here, you can get used to it and you can really understand
Students can choose between Vacation and General English and Intensive English
There are many exam classes, IELTS running at several levels
Cambridge First Certificate and the Cambridge Advanced English exam
For three weeks of the summer we run the festival elective
in which people study the world of the arts and theater, and then go see shows at night
All the staff here are very friendly and helpful and the teacher uses different activities
to make the lessons more interesting and enjoyable
We always like to check that students are happy with how things are going with their studies
Since the beginning of my studies, I've improved my English
Also because outside you have to speak with Scottish people
and it's very useful to improve our formal and informal language
Here at Kaplan Edinburgh you can learn with people from all over the world
the cultural mix is really nice for you because it opens your mind
and you can make a lot of friends
You can take coffee in the cafeteria downstairs
or if you need to work or study more, you have the student room upstairs
with also a computer room where you can use the computer and the Kaplan website
to work and improve your skills
Also we have the SMART board in every classroom
then we have a study center where there are always people
We have a lot of clubs where you can practice and improve your English
There are a lot of interesting places that we can go
For example, the castle, Scottish monument, Carlton Hill, and do some hiking at Arthur's Seat
Especially during the summer during the days of the festival in August
you can see different kind of show at anytime, it's really very interesting
We also have trips to the Highlands so you can go for a day or you can go for two days at weekend if you like
We have two accommodation options
We have homestay, where students can have a host mother and a host father
and interact with them and talk about their day, have meal times together with them
I stay with a host family and they are very kind and help me improve my English very much
And we also have a second option which is a residence, in which students can share a flat
We share the kitchen and every room has its own bathroom and a very big bed
We have wifi and also we have downstairs a common room where you can see movies
which is really really nice
It's beautiful to study at Kaplan because they give you the opportunity not to just study English
they give you the opportunity to live in English
