Hello my name is Alejandro Villanueva,
I’m from Venezuela and I’m 23years old.
I like Kaplan because it’s a great place to improve your English,
it’s basically really fun.
Students can get a unique experience by joining
an American College campus. You are really close to nature in a lot of ways
and you can also take a bus, 20 minutes, and be in downtown Seattle.
Seattle is a very beautiful city,
they have a lot of places to have fun and hang with your friends.
I like Kaplan because the teachers they are very welcoming, very warm and open.
Their classroom environment is very active, very fun.
I think that Kaplan Highline has an incredible group of people teaching,
they’re very caring. The majority of our teachers have their
masters degree, so I would say that we have fantastic teachers.
The students are going to benefit from their experience
and their passion for what they do.
We have a few different options of housing here at Kaplan.
I think the most desirable is a homestay,
that seems to be the option that most of our students choose.
And home stay offers a lot of benefits,
the student gets to live with an American family and certainly work on their English
by having the opportunity to converse and listen and practice with the family.
You have a lot of places to go shopping here
and the Commons Mall in Federal Way, it’s very close from the campus.
It’s a nice place to have fun with your friends,
you can find good shops where you can find great promotions or offers.
Around the campus you have a lot of parks and places you can go with your friends.
Kaplan organise all kinds of activities for students.
We play sports like volleyball and football.
The BBQ that we did today, we cooked sausages and we had a lot of fun.
Yes it was a beautiful day! Before I came here I remember
I was like really nervous
I couldn’t maintain a single conversation in English
or even understand people talking to me, but now it’s completely different.
It’s a great difference in just a short period of time.
I think what’s exciting is to see a student in class
and then to see them over a period of time grow in their studies,
in their confidence, in their language ability. And I think just knowing
that I was apart of that in some way is very rewarding!
