Q: What was your first impression of boarding at BCS?

A: It was really great, all the staff were so welcoming, and I made so many friends.

Q: How was your transition into boarding life?

A: It wasn’t that different from home. The only difference really is that I don’t have to wake up early because I live in the school.

Q: Did you have any big culture shocks when you arrived?

A: Not really but I think the people here are much more polite. Everyone here is so great at communication and so kind!

Q: Why did you and your parents choose BCS?

A: Because the school is so close to the sea which makes it so beautiful. It’s also not very big which was one of the main reasons.

Q: What subjects do you enjoy the most?

A: I really enjoy games because I can play tennis. Tennis is one of my passions and it’s so nice having time for it during the week.

Q: How have you found studying in English?

A: At first it was quite different and hard but it’s getting better by the day.

Q: What do you think you’ll miss the most when you leave?

Q: What’s something new you’ve learned about yourself while being at BCS?

A: Maybe that I can achieve everything even if I’m on my own in a different country with new people.

Q: What advice would you give to other people your age considering joining BCS?
