AVOID !!!3 weeks with EF, just expect to lose yout time and money . A disaster! You won't get service. First of all the family was just not there to welcome my soon, another student gave him the keys. Expecting a full immersion with a family .. this is what they sell but the family was just not there.. not talking everyone So..no immersion at all.. the best is that the other student was french .. so if expected any german conversation at home...I changed my soon to a residence finally in the center of Berlin.. where of course there where non german speaking students.
Academic is a disaster , they placed my soon with with students that never have spoken a word of german .. they never replied the requested attendance sheet . So i could not know if my soon had attend or not all his classes.
He is back now, he spend a nice holidays but he didn't improve or learned any german. So if i had paid private german classes in our town , he would learned more.
EF Lausane director replied , covid situation they have not overseas students so mainly french student in school. But this was never announced when i booked the 3 weeks.
They have lost host families because COVID , so you won't have choice to change to another family if there is a problem. I had to pay additional 580chf to transfert him to the residence .... and again nobody expressed sorry for the bad service or negleted family. I am still expecting the presence sheet.
What a pity for a institution like EF, really disappointed.
