Fantastic experience: An Unforgettable Month at BSC York A Golden Experience in Our 60s My wife and I traveled from Turin, Italy, to spend the entire month of May studying at BSC York. It was a wonderful challenge that turned into an unforgettable adventure. Leaving our comfort zone and our car behind, we lived like true "Yorkshire citizens"—even getting our own public library cards! The School & Staff BSC York is perfectly located in the city center, near the Minster and the National Railway Museum. The atmosphere created by the staff is exceptional: • Tim (Director): Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He even took us on a walking tour of the Shambles, sharing the city’s history with great passion. • Rebecca: A precise and methodical teacher who excelled at grammar, reading, and writing. • Olga: Dynamic and fast-paced, focusing on idioms, phrasal verbs, and the challenge of public speaking. • Tania: So kind and fluent, she led us to the best parks, tea rooms, and hidden spots in the city. Breaking the Age Barrier We stayed in student accommodation with a private kitchen and bathroom. Initially, we wondered if being in our 60s would feel strange among 20-year-olds from Japan, Chile, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. However, the age gap became imperceptible. We became a true group. We played mini-golf, visited the Yorkshire Dales and Whitby, and shared tea. By the end, the younger students were affectionately calling us "Uncle Giancarlo" and "Aunt Anna Maria." In fact, two of them are visiting us in Turin this June! Final Thoughts If you are thinking about an English immersion later in life, do it. We returned home to our local English course as "explorers" with stories to tell. Thank you to everyone at BSC York for your kindness and for making us feel so welcome. We left with a little sadness, but with hearts full of memories.

Fantastic experience: I studied at this language school for about one month, and all of the teachers here are very kind and supportive. They helped me not only with my learning in class but also with practical matters in daily life, including reviewing my CV and giving me valuable advice. I am truly very grateful for their support. Special thanks to Ash and Tim for all the guidance and suggestions they gave me, which helped me find a job while I was here. Overall, I felt very happy studying here, and it has been a wonderful memory and a great experience.

Fantastic experience: I remember with great pleasure the period I spent in York with BSC team. For a person of a certain age, like me, it was a challenging experience spending time with young people and the stuff of BSC was wonderful to help me to make myself comfortable in the young group of students. Lessons were useful and funny at the same time, I appreciated especially the double lessons, one more traditional with Rebecca and after it, the other one with Olga who expanded the content and improved our understanding, a very great idea! I appreciated also the social activities in the afternoon with Tania, in which I could practice the English language in a funny way with other students. I loved Tim and all the stuff, because they are welcoming and always readying to give you advice about everything you need in your everyday life. Summing it all up, there are a lot of good reasons for studying in BSC York school!

Negative experience: A year ago, my children were unable to attend the BSC football camp in Manchester due to visa refusals. Despite the camp being fully prepaid and BSC initially agreeing to a full refund, we have NOT received our money yet. For 12 months, we’ve faced nothing but delays and silence. Emails go unanswered, calls are ignored, and every request for an update leads to empty promises. This level of disregard for customers is unacceptable. I urge BSC to process the refund immediately—this is not just about the money, but about basic accountability. To other parents considering this camp: beware. Until BSC demonstrates they can resolve such issues, think twice before trusting them with your payments.
