Hi everyone. I'm looking to move to Japan next year to attend a language school, my preference is Kansai region. I know the general consensus is that all schools are the same (in a bad way) and it's best to choose by cost and location. But if anyone here has attended any of the schools below, which is my narrowed down list, I would love to hear some feedback. I'm looking for feedback about the school quality itself, as well as about student demographics. If you've attended a different Kansai region school and have some feedback to share, please let me know as well, I may have overlooked it in my search.
Also, do you recommend that I work with a company like Go Go Nihon? The application process seems to be straightforward enough, but do they respond faster if a representative contacts them on my behalf?
Communica Institute (Kobe)
Human Academy (Osaka)
ECC Kokusai Language School (Osaka) There are some concerning google reviews about there being a lot of very young students and bad behavior.
ISI Language School (Osaka) Google reviews seem to be fake; there's a lot of them with almost identical photos and saying "it was fun". There was another school where the reviews said the students were given freebies to make them write good reviews, but I can't find which one it was.
First Study (Osaka)
Thank you!
