" "I loved ALCE. It is like a family of foreign students in Bologna. I think the teachers and the staff are the best I could find. You can have an absolutely intresting class every morning and excelent additional activities in afternoon and evenings! It will definitely be a beautiful memory in your life."

Josè, 26 years, Argentina

"Studying in Bologna and at Alce was a great experience and I'll never forget it. After my tourist trip in Europe and before going home, I'd like to repeat it for proficiency. I hope to practice what I learnt in daily private life and almost in my buisiness"

Gabriel, 28 years, Mexico
