My University is located within a 5 minute walking distance from my accommodation. The B.H.M.S accommodations are quite modern and come equipped with en-suite showers, a kitchen, as well as a living room. The entire accommodation also provides a relatively fast Wi-Fi connection for the students. My social experience at B.H.M.S has also been very pleasant, all the students are friendly with an open mind. Furthermore, the school provides various activities/excursions that involve students and allows them to socialize.

BHMS is a very nice school for study. It is located in the centre of the city, so everything is very convenient for students. Supermarkets, shops, restaurants, bars, and transportation are around the school buildings. It's only a 10-minute walk to the main train station and bus stops are everywhere. Students are from over 18 different countries, so it is a very diverse community. It is fantastic to study and learn in this multinational culture. The accommodations at the school are very nice and we have different types of rooms: studio, single room with share facilities, and share room with share facilities (two people / three people / four people / five people room).

They should think more about our wellbeing. They should give us memberships to a gym or a spa facility; hire a therapist; or improve the cleaning and laundry facilities.

I would say I have made a great college selection. Students are supported to produce high-quality work by staff who are enthused and provide the information needed for success. They ensure that students are engaged in excursions, which are great for relaxing from work and exams. The school is located in the heart of Lucerne where transportation and shopping are definitely not issues. The best thing for me about the school is how well the multicultural students get along.
