I didn't like the college. Only one room available for teaching and it was too small. The certificate is very badly written. but the teacher is good and I've improved a little my english.

Hello, I had intensive corses (6h/day) for 4 weeks in this college. First of all, I'd like to say that this is a good return to investment for beginners and all intermediate levels. This is a good way to increase your vocabulary knowledge and improve your grammar with the Oxford method. Moreover, a lot of time is dedicated to the conversation. As regards the teachers, they are friendly, kind, professional and committed! In my opinion the hostel is neglected;by now they started the renovation

It was a very good experience at school, but a terrible one in the hostel. Imposible o practise English, dirty, they didn't changed the sheet after people left,they didn't clean the room in 3 weeks...awful place! An the manager was not very nice. The school was ok, very good teachers, few people in the class, good atmosphere.

Una experiencia muy buena, aunque por desgracia tuviera que salir antes, espero volver ya que Mr.Odonell es uno de los mejores profesores que he encontrado a lo largo de mi vida y de aprendizaje de inglés, solo señalar que las instalaciones separadas a las clases.. osea el alojamiento del hostal mejor informarse primero e intentar buscar algo un poco más "habitable" ya que deja bastante que desear. De todos modos muy buena experiencia y suerte!

Mi experiencia en esta escuela ha sido realmente positiva. Las clases son muy buenas, al igual que el profesorado. Además, la ubicación es excelente dado que puedes llegar caminando en 40 min como mucho al mismo centro de Londres. El único problema es el alojamiento que considero que es cutre, algo sucio y excesivamente pequeño. La habitación compartida es muy pequeña para dos personas. Pese a ello, tiene las condiciones básicas para estar un tiempo.

Supongo que para dar una opinión valida debemos separar las instalaciones de la academia con las de la residencia, a pesar de estar en el mismo edificio. La academia está muy bien, las clases son amenas y los profesores se implican; muy recomendable. La residencia es un "tugurio" muy sucia, con el mobiliario muy deteriorado, las camas son unas literas en un estado lamentable... sin embargo la ubicación es muy buena para conocer Londres y resulta cómodo dormir en el mismo lugar de estudio.

Es la primera vez que he tenido la sensación de estar aprendiendo ingles de verdad de manera rápida y efectiva, Las clases por tanto son muy buenas al igual que los profesores; repetiría en esta academia sin dudarlo. Las instalaciones de la academia no están mal; sin embargo las instalaciones del hostal de la academia son lamentables: muy sucias, muebles muy viejos y rotos, colchones que estarían mejor en la basura y los baños escasos y muy sucios. La academia esta muy bien situada.

No pensé que aprendería tanto llegando con tan poco base. El simple hecho de no tocar el propio idioma te obliga a aprender sin darte cuenta. Es mi primera experiencia pero seguramente repetiría en la misma escuela.

Es una escuela muy pequeña y yo era la unica persona que hacia curso intensivo por las tardes y por ahorrar costes me juntaron con un grupo que tenia un nivel muy inferior al mio. Tras una semana así me queje y entre dientes me concedieron (porque además tenia derecho a ello) estar en una clase aparte con un profesor y dar las clases de acuerdo con mis conocimientos. Los profesores en general son bastante buenos.

I've spent a really good time here with classmates and teachers. An interesting experience because I've shared a lot of things with many people, differents accents and mind from over around the world. Classes are amazing, entertained and not too long for me, so I' ve been able to learn new concepts and words about english, with funny system. On the other hand, I can ask for more teacher with the objetive of hearing more accent or ways of teaching. This would be a good proposal for the residence

Instalaciones demasiado antiguas y poco cuidadas. No hay organización tanto en la residencia como en la escuela. Da igual el horario que reserves en la escuela, te van a meter según tu nivel. Habitaciones pequeñas y sucias. La cocina es un desastre, todo demasiado usado y antiguo. Necesita una reforma urgente todo el edificio. La ubicación es buena pero es de lo poco que se puede salvar de este sitio.

Ok, you can't expect an amazing academy for what you're paying but it's worse than expected: young teachers without experience who get lost and have no initiative with their students. The worst part is the accomodation, Susan Lawrence Hostel: dirty rooms and facilities, furniture falling apart,... a dungeon in London. If you can't afford anything else in London, take it, but I would not recommend it AT ALL.
Reply from Oakdale College English School: We are sorry Cristina that you were not happy with your experience at our school. We wish that we had been aware of this while you were here. We have previously received excellent reviews of our teaching staff.

Coming to London is an experience you must live. The facilities could be easily improved. The people there were really amazing, kind, helpful, funny and unforgettable. The area is good, next to King's Cross St.Pancras, Pentonville and Euston rd. so it's near the city centre. The lessons are enjoyable and you learn useful sentences. In conversation you learn how to face with different situations or you discuss about actual topics. I'd come back again to Oakdale college!!!

bonjour, L'hébergement proposé par Oakdale College English School à Londres est scandaleux ! Les cours y sont corrects et agréables, mais l'hébergement est irrespectueux envers les étudiants ou les jeunes travailleurs. Ce logement est délabré. Mais j'insiste pour valoriser l'école et les cours qui sont en eux-mêmes d'une qualité agréable. Les profs sont géniaux ; pédagogie, efficacité et humanité. Le contenu des cours répond aux besoins essentiels de l'apprentissage des étudiants en anglais
