I am probably biased, but I would say its the nicest designed Chinese Language School and best study environment I have seen at any school in China so far. And I have been to quite a few. Its foreign managed and owned (if thats a good or bad thing is up to everyone to decide by themselves).
I am studying there too and can honestly say that at least my teacher is the best one I have ever had in eight years of studying Chinese. I couldnt comment on the service, as I am working in Student Services
but I would say we certainly try pretty hard on giving the best we can.
